I met beavers on my home river trail cameras in 2019 which started my journey to know them as a keystone species and, as individuals seeking out a living.

BeaverInsights was founded after I graduated from the Beaver Institute in 2020 with the goal of serving beavers in their natural riparian habitats with adaptable coexistence solutions for their human neighbors. I am also an available as a collaborative resource to human entities in need of beaver knowledge and support.

I am a semi-aquatic beaver detective. Looking through the lens of the beaver.
In her past life she majored in Fine Art at San Francisco State University yet somehow became a suit as a Certified Risk Manager/Insurance Broker for over twenty years until beavers saved her. A fateful bout of cancer, and a move to the wilds of the PNW she healed by getting back to her roots of hands-on caring for natural places as she had when leading crews in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area with the Youth Conservation Corps back in the early 1980’s.
During the Covid-pandemic, in the high desert outside Bend, she discovered through the art and science of camera trapping nocturnal animals, that beavers were not extinct but actively re-wilding watersheds all over Oregon and Washington. Learning everything she could about the life history of beavers, and putting her hobbies of wildlife tracking and photography to purposeful use she pioneered regional beaver monitoring programs for conservation groups including Beaver Works Oregon (Deschutes County), Western Beaver Cooperative (Eastern Oregon), and The Coastal Watershed Institute - where she got to follow the The Elwha nearshore beaver family on the 10th year after the dams were removed. There’s a peer-reviewed science paper with her name on it from the project that wets her appetite for more beaver ecology research especially around toxins stored in beaver dams in salmon-spawning watersheds.
