A local resident of Harleysville, Heidi comes to the Perkiomen Watershed with a BS in Education from East Stroudsburg University and a MS in Environmental Education from Arcadia University.
Heidi brings to the Perkiomen Watershed her philosophy that environmental experiences help shape children’s values, perspectives and understanding of the environment and how to interact with it. |

Heidi is excited about trading the traditional classroom for the great outdoors where she can focus on basic science concepts children can explore, and provide experiences to begin building a foundation of understanding for future action and decision making because today’s children will be responsible for making decisions that will shape the health of the environment..
When not teaching at the Perkiomen Watershed, Heidi can be found traveling both in the US and overseas reporting on the status of the four endangered species of sea turtles on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, West Africa. As a research associate for the Bioko Biodiversity Protection Program which is an academic partnership between Drexel University (Philadelphia, PA) and Universidad Nacional de Guinea Ecuatorial (“UNGE”, Malabo, Equatorial Guinea), she traveled to Bioko Island in 2006 as a participant in a three week expedition as a research assistant working along side the villagers of Ureca collecting sea turtle data, and again in January 2008, again as a research associate with National Geographic Magazine documenting the expedition and biodiversity of Bioko Island. Heidi will be returning to Bioko Island again in January 2010.
