I've always seen the importance of protecting our environment, but as I began to hunt and spend the kind of time in the natural world that is required of a hunter, I became increasingly aware of my own role in the natural order. The connection and satisfaction I found through filling my slot in the natural order quickly became another driving force.


I volunteer as an Artemis Ambassador, as an advisory board member and instructor for Michigan Becoming an Outdoors Woman, and as a Hunter Safety Education Instructor.Ī little over ten years ago, I became obsessed with finding connection with my food, which led me to my local farmer’s market, then to growing and canning my own food, eventually I began foraging for wild edible plants and mushrooms… It wasn't long before I started to think about what it would take to learn to hunt and fish for my own wild protein. I work as a Recreation Specialist for Pittsfield Township Parks and Recreation and Naturalist, I also work as an independent Outdoor Educator. Having put down a deep taproot here, the more I learn about the place I am from, the more I fall in love with it. I am a Southeast Michigan public land hunter, forager, fisher, and trapper.
