Speaker Bio
As the Parks and Wildlife Partnership Manager with Great Outdoors Colorado, I steward GOCO’s relationship with and investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) to pursue shared values in outdoor recreation and conservation. In addition, my work focuses on the development of Colorado's Outdoors Strategy, where GOCO is collaborating with DNR, CPW and the Governor's office to convene an effort to develop a regionally rooted, statewide vision and action plan for conservation, outdoor recreation, and climate resilience.

In my previous role, I served as the statewide partnership coordinator for CPW where my main projects included coordinating the agency's annual partnership conference and the Colorado Outdoor Partnership. Both are key platforms for organizations across the spectrum of the outdoor industry to gather, collaborate, and discuss how to advance and balance outdoor recreation and conservation in Colorado. While in that role I also helped launch the Regional Partnerships Initiative, a statewide effort to ensure that Colorado’s land, water, and wildlife thrive, while also providing for equitable access to quality outdoor recreation experiences.
