About Ashley Dussault

I currently work as an Education Coordinator at Delaware Nature Society’s DuPont Environmental Education Center. My work focuses on engaging Wilmington youth in outdoor activities and empowering them to be leaders in their communities. During my undergraduate studies, I earned a Sustainabilty BA, Geography BA, and certificate in environmental education. I completed an undergraduate thesis on garden-based learning and systems thinkings at a local elementary school. I believe in the power of education and self-efficacy to drive sustainable solutions. I hope to make the world a better place through community outreach and education.
