Hi my name is Isa or (Isabella) Medrano and I am currently a Junior in college at the University of Stevens Point WI. My current major is Environmental Education and Interpretation with a minor in Wildlife. I am truly looking forward to learning the skills I will need to be the best interpreter or educator to get people and communities excited about learning new things and engaged with the environments around them. 

Laurina has been involved in environmental education in some form or another for about twenty years.  She currently teaches at the NW Cary YMCA Homeschool Hub.  She has an undergraduate degree in Biology and a graduate degree in Zoology from NC State.  She has worked in the public schools, at environmental centers, at camps, and in the homeschool community.  Her favorite topics to teach on include reptiles, amphibians, and amphibians, but she's really up for anything environmental.  She is a lifelong learner and always enjoys learning something new.  

I hold a master's of didactics in Outdoor and Sustainability Education. I have 2 years of a experience as a Forest Kindergarten Teacher. I have 3 years of experience as a nature and science camp instructor.

I am a Va Master Naturalist, a long-time teacher from pre-K to college to adult.

In my 15+ years at the Garden, I have passed on my passion for nature and the environment to thousands of students. My position has grown and evolved so now I have the pleasure of managing a team of 5-15 educators that teach our programs.  Our work with 2 year olds to adults keeps me on my toes and constantly looking for opportunities for growth.
