I strongly believe in the importance of outreach and have participated in a variety of events that involved educating or integrating the community:

• Recruitment for the Natural Resources Conservation Academy (NRCA) (Mystic Aquarium, CT)
• White Memorial Family Nature Day (Bantam, CT)
• Educational workshops on invasive aquatic plant identification (Towns of Vernon and Bolton, CT)
• White Memorial BioBlitz (Bantam, CT)
• Training in lake monitoring data collection methods for volunteer programs (Bolton Lakes, Lake Quasset, Lake Quassapaug)
