   Designs and facilitates experiential learning programs for students in grades K–12, integrating environmental education, natural sciences, STEM, and human relations into dynamic outdoor settings. Leads interpretive hikes, nature-based workshops, campfire presentations, and hands-on activities that immerse students in topics such as astronomy, botany, ecology, geology, hydrology, meteorology, mythology, and zoology. Develops standards-aligned curricula that support inquiry-based learning and environmental literacy. Work collaboratively with educators and school administrators to align programming with classroom objectives. In addition to student instruction, I lead professional development training for part time staff, equipping them with the tools and confidence to integrate outdoor and environmental education into their own practice. Supports the operations and stewardship of the outdoor education center by maintaining and improving trail systems by clearing brush, trimming tree limbs, and developing new paths in accordance with safety standards and ecological practices.
