I am a chemistry teacher at Commodore Perry High School.  We are a small rural school that has k through 12 in one building.  I have the opportunity to teach the students for multiple years and watch their growth to adulthood.

Emily grew up outdoors and loves cloud gazing. After living in many states, she moved to the Pacific Northwest and attended graduate school at the University of Washington.  There she received her M.Ed. and a certification in Environment, Education and Community from IslandWood. She has always brought her passion for people and protecting the environment together.  If you can't find her-- she is certain to be adventuring on the trails: smelling juniper cones, cloud gazing, or riding bikes with her two spirited children.

I am an educator in School & Youth Programs at the Virginia squarium and Marine science center in Virginia Beach. I live in Sandbridge, Virginia, and I’m also volunteering at our Back Bay wildlife refuge. I have recently completed a course with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation and I think the MWEE 101 will be a great learning opportunity for me to incorporate practices, new information, and conservation efforts in our programming for students.
