Finding Your Forest 
Starts with the Right Vision

Leave the roads, take the trails. ~ Pythagoras

Why I Started
Eco-Guiding

It is more than a walk in the woods!  I've spent 30+years in the public sector as a parks, recreation and conservation practitioner, leading people, teams and agencies to achieve management excellence, environmental stewardship and launching innovative firsts through team building, community engagement, continuous improvement processes and advocacy.  Artemis Strategic Consulting further builds upon my desire to work with individuals, teams and organizations who are committed to leading by example, achieving performance excellence and reaching their fullest potential.

My Story

There is an adventure in all of us.  

 

At an early age, I answered the call of the wild and developed a passion for the arts, humanities, nature and outdoor recreation experiences which came with it the responsibility for reciprocity and community stewardship.  

 

For more than three decades, I have led the advancement of conservation, community engagement and parks and recreation on a local, county,  state, regional and national level serving in various leadership roles.  Real-life experiences as a Girl Scout, camp counselor, resident assistant, community builder, and public parks, recreation and conservation practitioner further cultivated a strong business acumen and competencies in marketing and communication, finance, total quality management,  programming, project implementation, partnership collaboration and talent management. 

I am committed to providing opportunities and creating experiences that encourage individuals, teams and organizations to thrive as knowledge is learned and shared.  

"Conservation, land protection, preservation of our natural and cultural heritage and enjoying the outdoors play a major role in our quality of life for all life on earth and is an integral part of thriving and sustainable communities across the country.  Ensuring these treasured wide-open spaces and nature resources are preserved, restored and accessible for current to future generations is our personal responsibility and essential to the survival of our species, as there is an interconnectivity between health and nature."

 

Artemis in Greek Mythology is the goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, woman and children.  Artemis has many abilities and skills including hunting, archery, tracking, survival and communication with animals.  Artemis Strategic Consulting, LLC is a woman-owned business.
