1. Founder and Principal Consultant

   For Science Sake

   Aug 2015 — Present · Ardmore, OK, US

   I’m an experienced ecologist and content specialist who helps organizations, agencies, and professionals turn complex conservation science into practical, measurable programs across rangelands, grasslands, grazing systems, and water. I lead strategy and facilitation, strengthen organizational capacity, and improve engagement by pairing generational insight, adult learning theory, environmental literacy, and emotional intelligence. My focus areas include strategic planning, program evaluation, adult learning design, science communication training, grant strategy/writing, and professional development. I help clients find shared values, bridge differences, and connect environmental impact with human motivations, building the clarity and confidence needed to address today’s complex challenges in rangelands, grasslands, grazing systems, and water.Strategic planning, science content development, organizational leadership, speaking, custom training, workshops, grant writing, science content development
