  I am available for workshops and presentations about writing, nature study, and cultural interpretation. My twenty-three years of experience include seven years as a National Park Service naturalist, during which I gave countless formal and informal programs such as slide shows, nature walks, campfire talks, workshops, and environmental education activities. I have led many extended study tours of western state and national parks for the Smithsonian and other clients and lectured on subjects ranging from California wildflowers at the Richard M. Nixon Library to indigenous cultures of the Southwest at the Phoenix Public Library.

  Trained as an Oral Historian, I have collected interviews and spoken histories from veterans of the Civilian Conservation Corps, descendants of Mormon pioneers, and other old-timers associated with northern Arizona. I have also taught short classes on writing and mapping at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff public elementary schools, and the Flagstaff Arboretum.
