I'm the director and founder of Chavitos Nature School in Tacoma Washington. We are a bilingual school for preschool and elementary. I've been trained as a Montessori teacher and have 13 years of teaching experience in the classroom, internationally and as a Forest School teachers.
For the past decade, I've served American Samoa as a high school teacher and have worked with the University of Hawaii at Manoa for over seven years. I am the Founder for Finafinau, which is a nonprofit that promotes youth leadership for environmental advocacy and climate justice.
With the belief that education is foundation on which we build the road to sustainable development, I advocate for environmental education through different capacities, as a policy campaigner and lobbyist, citizen journalist, environment researcher, and science communicator.
