Since developing my passion in wildlife sciences and teaching I have worked at multiple environmental education facilities in an effort to inspire a love of the outdoors in younger generations and the public as a whole. I have multiple years of experience teaching, guiding, and interacting with the public. Through such experience I have developed a thorough knowledge of ecological concepts, interpretive styles, and methods of teaching through experiential education as a whole. I am looking to expand my knowledge base and work toward becoming a better educator by becoming a certified NC Environmental Educator.
