Hi all, I'm very glad to join the WildHub community! I'm coming from a little different background than the typical conservationist (Environmental Geology undergraduate, MBA, and 20 years in the US Navy), and now I'm pursuing a PhD researching how conservation professionals learn, with a particular emphasis on how failure is handled in our discipline. I also host workshops and interactive sessions exploring the mindsets and systems that enable effective learning from failure. I admit feeling that I learn as much as the participants in these sessions, because this sort of endeavor is definitely more of a journey than a destination.
Outside of my PhD, I work on promoting trails and open space in Colorado, lead a Girl Scout troop, and coach middle school Odyssey of the Mind teams. I look forward to learning together!

Welcome Allison! Your perfect s'more is mouth-watering! I love how our community is getting more diverse every day, because of people's different backgrounds, different geographical locations, etc. The topic you are working on is very valuable I feel within the conservation discussions and I look forward to learning more about it!
Hello Allison! That s'more looks incredible, I've only ever used chocolate digestives before, yours is another level! Your research sounds very interesting.
Thanks! Yes, these are seriously delicious.
I've never thought of using chocolate digestives before...that sounds like a great idea!
Hi Alison, I really enjoyed your session at the Conservation Optimism last year - very interesting and vital.
Thanks, Lucy, glad you liked it!
