Her experience includes positions as a National Park Service interpretive ranger, wildlife educator with the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, state education specialist, curriculum writer, and instructor of professional development courses. She has introduced hundreds of Alaskan classroom teachers and informal educators to outdoor nature-based instruction through the workshops and classes that she teaches at the University of Alaska and Alaska Pacific University, through state and federal agencies, and at parks and nature centers.
