I was born and raised in Billings, Montana, the largest city in the Big Sky State. Although I grew-up in the city, I have always had a special love for the outdoors. That love blossomed and I soon found myself pursuing degrees in Biology with a Wildlife Ecology option and Environmental Science with a Natural Resource Management option from the University of Montana Western. I graduated in the Spring of 2018 and continue to curb my thirst for knowledge as an Environmental Educator at the Birch Creek Center. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading and traveling.
