Welcome to beautiful San Francisco, the shining emerald city by the bay. As someone who leads Bay Area walks in a plethora of habitats, I love sharing the very best experiences with guests. I'm a Certified Master Interpreter with the National Park Service, and former Federal Ranger/Biologist with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, with decades of experience as a Volunteer and Education Coordinator; my training, enthusiasm, and unique wildlife and historical experience sets me apart. My guests comment on my extensive knowledge, sense of humor, and love of leading tours. I lead guests to local parks like Muir Woods, and also far afield like the mountains, coastline, and deserts. In my free time, I enjoy singing, hiking, and studying creatures from the ancient past. I'm also a lecturer and teacher, with an MS in Mass Communication from Boston University, and a BA in World Arts and Cultures from UCLA.
