Hi! My name is Meredith Hall and I am 21 years old and a senior at Lees-McRae College studing Wildlife Biology with a concentration in Wildlife Rehabilation!

Greetings from DFW!  The Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex consists of urban, suburban and rural areas in Texas.  As a Texas Master Naturalist and a Dallas ISD TAG Teacher, I set up 5th grade excursions to the Dallas ISD Environmental Education Center and order from the Living Center for my K-5 grade gifted classroom.  My goal is to combine my love of nature with teaching earth and life science.  In addition to citizen science, classroom activities implemented include Project Wild, Texas Wildlife Association and Texas Children in Nature Network.  Becoming a National Certified Environmental Educator seems right up my urban alley filled with flora and fauna.

I have been teaching environmental science at the high school level for the past 17 years.  Prior to that, I worked as an outreach educator for The Watershed Ecology Center and the SCDHEC Green Driver program.  In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and walking in the woods.  

I am Charlie Riley,

I've been pursuing a career in outdoor education for five years now. I've had the opportunity to work in The Great Swamp of New Jersey, the Coastal Redwood Forest, the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, and the larger Southwest of the US.

I have worked as a head counselor, a leadership program director, a naturalist, an assistant rock climbing guide, and more. My personal hobbies and interest add to the list of outdoor experience and knowledge I've acquired. I hope to add to this list through future opportunities. 

Nina grew up on the island of Martha's Vineyard and spent her twenties travelling the world, while living in the South Pacific. After teaching middle and high school, both at home and abroad for a decade, Nina settled on Martha's Vineyard with a Masters in Library and Information Science. While raising two young boys with her husband, Nina joined the Martha's Vineyard Shellfish Group as an Educator in 2022 following a six-year tenure in public libraries. Passionate about the environment, the ocean, and broad access to resources and education, Nina brings the people to the ponds and the ponds to the people. Celebrating and sharing aquaculture's myriad benefits makes every workday fun.
