Dynamic professional with a rich background in customer service at AT&T and education, fostering strong relationships and enhancing engagement. A dedicated beekeeper with a passion for native plants, I leverage my communication skills and horticultural knowledge to promote environmental sustainability and community awareness. Committed to lifelong learning and nurturing nature.
At this time in life, I have taken early retirement to do work that I truly enjoy - to play outside in the dirt and amongst the beauty of Mother Nature
I have been a BeeKeeper for the past 9 years In learning about pollinator plants, my interest has turned more toward Native plants; not just for the native pollinators, but also to help solve rainwater drainage issues in my neighborhood And, I would like to learn more, more, more about plants!
Though my resume does not reflect a history of horticulture, I started my work life, at a very early age, caring for our family yard and mowing lawns with my older brother Developed a lasting 50 year relationship by doing my friend's garden chores, took horticulture courses at OSU-Stillwater, and have a Certified National Wildlife yard, which is, also, a Monarch Waystation
