I am a student at NKU and need to use this site for my course.

AppaLatina from the mountains of NC. 

New to EE as a professional but have been a student of nature since I was young. 

Over the last two decades I have participated in ventures spanning geographic and cultural boundaries across design, engineering, health, education, and international development fields.

As Co-Founder of Up4 The Challenge, a non-profit organization that promotes STEM (science technology engineering and math) as a means to achieve positive social and environmental impact in the community, I co-create and deliver hands-on programming for youth.

My priorities are to create opportunities for social change through a human-centred approach to design and innovation

I am an aspiring environmental educator with a strong interest in sustainability, native plants, and the traditional and practical uses of plants and herbs. I am passionate about connecting people with the natural world through accessible, hands-on education and hope to help others better understand the ecosystems and natural resources within their own communities.

Claire Sutton has been fostering connections between students and the natural world since 2010.
