I am involved with the Sustainability Studies program because I believe in the transformative power of this unique interdisciplinary program to empower students to create positive change. My career has been devoted to sustainability education and social entrepreneurship in a variety of venues. I am the founder of Walking Mountains Science Center and the former Director of the Graduate Program at Teton Science Schools. I served on the founding board of directors of the Eagle Valley Alliance for Sustainability and have taught in the Environmental Studies and Sustainability Education graduate programs at Prescott College.
My current involvement in the Eagle Valley community and beyond includes serving as an elected official on the Vail Town Council, as a board member at Walking Mountains Science Center, a partner with the Climate Action Collaborative for the Eagle County Community, and a trainer for the Global Sustainable Tourism Council. As a faculty member and mentor, I use the creative essence within all living things to help people of all ages realize their purpose, create the positive changes they envision, and achieve success in their lives.
