Professional Title
Resilience Extension Educator

What I do for Sea Grant

As an extension educator my work focuses on strengthening Lake Superior’s coastal communities, economies, and their environments to better prepare for and respond to extreme weather events and changes in climate trends.

Value of what I do for Minnesotans

I help Minnesotans to become more weather and climate resilient by building awareness around changing conditions in and around Lake Superior and Minnesota’s inland waters and by providing resources on how to plan for and adapt to future conditions.
