Shaver’s Creek is forever imprinted on my heart. My experience resulted in me finding the best version of myself, making lifelong friends, and appreciating the natural world more than I thought possible.
Years at Shaver’s Creek: 2016–2019
Positions Held: Intern, Outdoor School, Summer Camp, Outdoor School Education Program Assistant
Current Company/Organization: Penn State Eberly College of Science, Office of Science Outreach
I’m currently the director of the Office of Science Outreach within Penn State’s Eberly College of Science. I am also pursuing my doctorate in education and my research focuses on evaluating informal STEM learning spaces. Personally, I’m living in Pine Grove Mills with my husband, Ryan, and we are expecting our first child, Noah, this spring. Shaver’s Creek prepared me for my journey by helping me be less afraid of failure and teaching me how to incorporate my authentic self into my work.
