Career and Work Summary

I’m passionate about creating meaningful intersections between people and nature. My work and studies have led me toward a career focused on environmental education, community outreach, and sustainability. I want to help others understand that connecting with the natural world doesn’t require going far; it starts with awareness, care, and curiosity in our everyday surroundings.

Professionally, I’ve gained experience across different fields that all share a common thread: service and connection. From working as an Educator at Lululemon to volunteering with Johnson City Parks and Recreation, I’ve learned how to engage people, lead with empathy, and bring enthusiasm to every interaction. These roles have shaped my ability to communicate effectively, manage responsibilities, and adapt to different settings while keeping a people-centered approach.

My long-term goal is to work with environmental organizations such as the Tennessee Valley Authority or the U.S. Forest Service, developing programs that bridge community life and nature-based learning. Whether through education, conservation, or design thinking, I want to build spaces where people and nature thrive together.
