Combining a Master's degree in Environmental Science and twenty years teaching students in nature-filled schoolyards, my current work with Green Schoolyards America includes curating and developing outdoor lessons for the living schoolyard, whether it is a schoolyard forest, vegetable garden, or native habitat. We are working to inspire and support systems change to transform asphalt-covered schoolgrounds into living schoolyards so that all children have daily access to nature on their school grounds - to learn, to play, and for their health and well-being.

Dear Sir / Madam, 

My secondary school is situated in Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean. We are working in collaboration with our students to develop and adopt a new learning environment, focusing on STEM education. 

Since last year, we were registered as an eco - school by FEE organization, under the agis of UNESCO. We would like to share the amazing work of our students.

Possessing a degree in science and a special license in teaching, I am very dedicated to support my students to achieve their learning goals and also help to develop their 21st century skills. Having more than 5 years of experience in the field of teaching, we are now helping our students to achieve through experiential learning.

I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder with a strong passion for the environment and wildlife. Growing up in Colorado allowed me to explore the state’s diverse landscapes firsthand, sparking my interest in conservation and inspiring me to take environmental education courses. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep commitment to understanding environmental issues and contributing to solutions that support both ecosystems and communities.
