I am a MN Master Naturalist volunteer and avid hiker and outdoorswoman living in La Crescent MN. I currently serve on the City of La Crescent’s Park and Rec Commission and Natural Resources Advisory Group and am a member of the Friends of the Blufflands, The Prairie Enthusiasts and the Mississippi Valley Conservancy. I love reading, gardening, cooking, laughing and learning something new everyday. Oh and connecting people to the outdoors through guided hikes and doing presentations on mindfully enjoying the natural world.
