I develop educational programming that brings environmental monitoring programs to local communities. Science education allows me to embrace a role that combines making environmental education accessible and connecting educaiton to relevant ecological research efforts. I have had many different roles as before becoming an environmental educator including being a collections assistant for a natural history museum and a field assistant to ornithology researchers.

Carol Hartman

I am a homeschool mother as well as a teacher for 2  homeschool co-op groups. I lead Irwin Preschool-Elementary Homeschool Group where our families take part in field trips, service projects, lesson days, fun days and community get togethers. I have sat on the Kamin Science Center's Teacher Advisory Council and have taken part in various nature based learning courses. I also coach in the local public high school as well. I lead a nature based Christian elementary group in the area as well as enjoying camping and hiking with my family. I believe there is so much to learn from nature and I believe it's done so much more respectfully by experiencing nature first hand.
