I am a student enrolled in the NC EE certificate program, a nature enthusiast and a future teacher!

I am the Executive Director for the Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education and the Green and Healthy Schools Wisconsin Coordinator for the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. Sustainable Schools, accessible green career pathways, and environmental equity are my main motivators.

In the among us is a game set in space, where players take on the role of a crew member on a spaceship. The goal of the game is to complete tasks on the ship, while some players are assigned as "impostors" whose job is to sabotage and eliminate other crew members.

I will be teaching environmental science next year. I have a bachelor's in environmental science with a major in fish and wildlife management. I've taught summer camp at our local Conversation Center. I didn't get a chance to do much field work when I was diagnosed with cancer and then lupus. That's why I'm going into teaching. I've been working as a paraprofessional to make sure I could handle high schoolers. It's been a lot of fun. I'm excited to be able to, hopefully, get the teens into citizen science and environmental work.

 

• Brett “Mr. Eco” Edwards was inspired by his high school AP Environmental Science teacher to use his love for hip-hop and sustainability to spark environmental action in young audiences. Over the past decade, The EcoHero Show has been performed in 7 countries, reaching more than 1.2 million students across 2,700 elementary schools. Sponsored by over 140 cities and counties in the United States, the program has earned a reputation for empowering the next generation of EcoHeroes.
• Building on this legacy, Let’s Go Eco takes the best of what the EcoHero Show has achieved and levels it up for the big stage. This new theatre experience brings the Let’s Go Eco rap-along book series to life through an electrifying mix of singing, dancing, and call-and-response interactions.

I'm an oceanographer and behavioral neuroscientist by training, who has worked at all levels in conservation, from education to international policy. I teach people behavior change skills to make a difference on climate change, plus online courses in climate science and solutions.

I'm a grant consultant specializing in education and youth development. I help busy nonprofit leaders by managing the pre-award grant process (grant research, grant writing, and strategy) and by developing community-connecting content to reach constituents. I partner with mission-driven organizations in environmental education, STEM/STEAM education, college access and career readiness, literacy, and youth workforce development to name a few. I'm a member of the Grant Professionals Association/GPA New England, the Massachusetts Nonprofit Network, the Children & Nature Network. I hold an M.S. in Childhood Education and a B.A. in Communication from Russell Sage College.
