    Bird Conservancy of the Rockies
    Development Manager
    I am the development manager for Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, formerly Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, based at Barr Lake State Park. I have worked in the non-profit sector for more than 15 years and enjoy connecting people's philanthropy and generosity with nonprofit missions and goals to make the world a better place.

    At Bird Conservancy of the Rockies, we connect people, birds and land - right here in Brighton. The Old Stone House at Barr Lake serves as our educational learning center providing numerous opportunities for children and adults to learn, engage and be inspired by the beauty of nature.

    I have lived in Brighton for ten years and am excited to be working in my own community.
