BeePeeking & Knitting My Graduate Degree

10/30/2016

My husband and I began keeping bees in 2005, and that same year I began blogging about my adventures as a "beepeeker". BeePeeking encompasses more than just keeping honeybees: it is a journal of my learning adventures in our backyard and urban neighborhood through organic gardening, planting pollinator parking strips, and becoming more informed stewards of our Backyard Wildlife Sanctuary.

In 2012, I found the perfect graduate program to round out my Arts and Humanities background, and I embarked on an inquiry adventure to earn my Masters of Teaching in the Biological Sciences.

I spent most of the 1980s and 90s in Alaska
flying airplanes, floating wild rivers, winter camping, raising a wild child, and living off the grid :^)

With my MAT in Advanced Inquiry for Biological Sciences, I've taught K-12 students from north of the Arctic Circle to the Puget Sound Ecoregion, garnering over thirty years experience as a classroom teacher, learning mentor, and private tutor.

Here in Seattle, I am an advocate for environmental stewardship, place-based education, and outdoor play. I share my enthusiasm for birds, bugs, and backyards as a writer/photographer for Pacific Horticulture.
