I am a student at NKU looking to further my education in Environmental Science.

I am a visual arts teacher, climate change educator, and school sustainability leader who has worked in New Jersey public schools for over 26 years. As a passionate advocate for interdisciplinary climate change education that integrates art, justice, emotion, and action, I frequently present workshops on these topics. In 2022, as part of Subject to Climate's inaugural New Jersey teacher taskforce, I developed art and climate lessons for the New Jersey Climate Education Hub. Through collaboration with the Climate Psychology Alliance of North America, I co-authored an Educator's Guide to Climate Emotions in 2024. My chapter on "The Role of Art in Climate Change Education" will be published in Climate Change Education Across Disciplines K–12 in 2025.

I have been working in the field of special education for one year and I love it. I work with middle school students. The students I provides educational supports for are primarily eigth grade, and a small handful of sixth graders. Middle school is my jam, but my absolute favorite grade to work with is seventh graders! 

My grandfather taught me to love and respect the land. When other cattle ranchers were killing coyotes, his response was, "they're doing me a favor. They weed out the sick ones." He got his pickup truck stuck between two trees once and was forced to cut one down -- and cried. When I asked why he was crying, he answered, "it takes a lot of years to grow a tree."

I am immensely grateful to my grandfather for teaching me to respect and revere the world around me. Because of him I see Nature not as something to be tamed and/or controlled, but as Life, to be appreciated and shared, if not fully understood. My grandfather taught me to understand that I have a place in that world, but today I understand he was also teaching me that it's not enough to know that I have a place in the world. I also need to make a difference. For me, part of that is passing his lessons on.

I am a high school paraprofessional in Bayfield, WI. I work with special education students in general education classes.
