What I do at Wolf Ridge defies a straightforward job title. You may not see me often, but observe signs of my presence in the form of displays, kit maintenance, curriculum layout, class posters, and other miscellaneous projects. I manage Wolf Ridge’s long-term bird banding research project called MAPS and all the bird data. I am honored to work at Wolf Ridge and have been part of the team since 1991. Part of my non-work time is filled with a variety of adventures with my husband Joe, daughter Jenny, and granddaughter Kaisley. Hobbies include gardening, yard and house projects, reading and cooking. Although I get motion sick quite easily I had halibut fishing on my bucket list. In the summer of 2023, I fulfilled that goal and didn’t vomit!
