Ruby graduated this past spring with degrees in Environment & Natural Resources (ENR) and Wildlife & Fisheries Biology & Management, with minors in French, Honors, and Outdoor Leadership. She is now a Field Instructor at Teton Science Schools (TSS) in Jackson, WY. She works on place-based education, taking students into nature to specifically teach about our world and how we fit into it. She originally learned about TSS when she took the Winter Ecology field course through the Haub School and had an amazing experience with the educators which sparked her interest. Coming from St. Joseph, MO, the vibrant winters of Jackson were a newfound experience, one she fell in love with quickly.
