Volunteer Naturalist class of 2018. I have a particular interest in birds, thanks to my maternal grandmother, but am fascinated by all aspects of the natural world. I also volunteer as a Birds of Special Concern monitor at Boulder Res and previously spent 3 seasons volunteering at the Wild Basin Ranger Station in Rocky Mountain National Park. When not volunteering, I work intermittently as an academic advisor at the University of Colorado Boulder.
I have lived in Boulder since September 1976 and have birded extensively since then in Boulder County and Colorado. I have twice been president of the Colorado Field Ornithologists, and am currently chairman of the CFO Colorado Bird Records Committee. I spent most of my career at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, where I studied the role of the ocean in climate. I worked extensively on the climate model that is based at NCAR, and used it to make projections of the future climate.
Educated in natural sciences, MS in geology. I worked for the USGS as a field geologist in Mineral Resources for 10 years before stepping back to raise my children. Later I worked in the schools as a para-educator working with gifted kids, special ed, and resource support in high school supporting math and science classes. Now in retirement I volunteer as a raptor nest monitor, burrowing owl monitor and volunteer naturalist for Boulder County as well as with CPW and BCNA.
