“I worked with Amy when she became a volunteer naturalist for Jefferson County Open Space at Lookout Mountain Nature Center near Golden, Colorado. Her skills and experience were critical to building the astronomy team of volunteers. Amy’s passion for teaching means that she reached thousands of people and showed hundreds of people the night sky through a telescope for the first time. Amy’s work helped countless people build a sense of place through showing them the universe and explaining how our planet works.”

“I first partnered with Amy in the early 2000s when we co-led a middle school science workshop series. It was Amy who ensured our workshop content was standards aligned, age appropriate, and inclusive. She consistently demonstrates diligent, thoughtful approaches to producing scientifically accurate and pedagogically appropriate educational content, resources, and experiences for her audiences whether they be middle school students, the public, or science professionals seeking professional development. Amy is a dedicated educator with years of experience ‘doing things the right way’. She is very well regarded in the environmental science community for her informal education activities and her leadership in the professional development of other Earth and environmental science professionals and is a consummate professional on any team.”
