I’m a recreation manager, planner, and GIS specialist focused on creating outdoor experiences that balance the needs of visitors with the stewardship of the places they enjoy. I believe effective recreation management starts with understanding how people interact with landscapes and using that knowledge to make informed decisions. By combining extensive field experience, GIS, and applied research, I work to better understand recreation challenges and develop practical solutions that improve how outdoor spaces are planned and managed. My goal is to help create recreation opportunities that are accessible, sustainable, and responsive to the needs of both communities and natural resources.
