My name is Samantha Shuster and this is my fifth year of teaching. I currently teach 7th grade science in Catawba County, NC. I have always had a passion for our natural world and sustainability. This passion along with my dedication to learning and teaching young minds has lead me to NAAEE. My goal is to become a better steward of our environment by developing the knowledge and skills to teach the next generation better conservation practices for a more sustainable future.
