Breyer Kinzer is the Outreach & Education Manager at HPEC. Before coming to HPEC she worked as a Larimer County Park Ranger and Rugged Research Lead Environmental Educator.
Breyer was born and raised in Oglesby, Illinois where he she fell in love with the rivers and forests around Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Parks. The oldest of 4 siblings, she spent her summers kayaking the river and catching fireflies in corn fields with her brothers and sister.
Loving nature came easy, but learning about it was tough. Public school offered only agriculture in the way of environmental science, if anything at all. Breyer followed her passion and taught herself most of what she knows from books and YouTube videos. After completing two Associate’s degrees at Illinois Valley Community College, she moved to Colorado in 2020 to be amongst environmentalists.
She has a passion for education and is happiest when she is working with children. She enjoys the gym, reading, cozy video games, and traveling with her high school sweetheart.
