I am truly honored to serve as the Executive Director of Mesa Conservation District, continuing my long-standing commitment to building capacity and fostering community awareness of the District's mission. My passion for conservation is deeply rooted in both my academic achievements—a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Technology and a Professional Certificate in Sustainable Practices from Colorado Mesa University—and my extensive hands-on experience working alongside local producers and community members.

Collaborating with local partners, I am proud to lead impactful initiatives that advance education and outreach, such as the Delta-Mesa Colorado Master Irrigator Program and the Colorado Soil Health Program. These programs exemplify my dedication to empowering producers and addressing the unique challenges of conservation in our region.

Mesa Conservation District stands as a vital advocate for local producers and landowners, providing invaluable resources while ensuring the voices of Colorado’s Western Slope are heard. Each day, I am inspired by the opportunity to strengthen our programs, deepen partnerships, and champion our shared vision for sustainable stewardship. Looking to the future, I am excited to build on our successes, embrace new opportunities, and continue serving our community by protecting the invaluable resources that make this region so extraordinary.
