Send a ComplimentAbout Me & My Family
My family and I are huge lovers of the outdoors, whether it is hiking, biking, camping, etc. I love to hike with my children on trails with a lot of natural play areas and watch them go and take risks. My passion is getting children outdoors so they can develop a relationship with nature to become environmental stewards. I am an environmental educator and have my own business called Hiking Along, Science and Hiking for Kids.
