Becky at the OPTS Conference – Evening Report
Sierra Nevada Journeys crew and Richard Louv at the OPTS Conference
Greetings! What a wonderful first day and kickoff keynote speech by Richard Louv. The renowned author made powerful points about connecting youth with nature, and to remember that we are a part of nature, and that we must be able to imagine a better future and paint an illustration of that future for our kids! The SNJ crew enthusiastically thanks Mr. Louv for signing a book for us, and graciously taking a picture too!

Something you should know about me:
I was first introduced to Sierra Nevada Journeys as an undergraduate student. I participated in several workshops during my time as a student. After graduation I was hired to work on our campus in Portola, CA. At the end of the summer I joined the staff in the Reno office as an Experiential Educator. I enjoy working with SNJ for the opportunity to work with a variety of student populations and the chance to teach curriculum focusing on scientific concepts. The work environment is always positive and encouraging. My role at SNJ is providing me with numerous opportunities and tools to accomplish my personal and
caeegoals.
