Ibelieve wholeheartedly in the power of science inquiry to not only discover the natural world but to also discover ourselves. Through inspiring and meaningful outdoor learning experiences, you can never be too old or too young to find excitement in nature.

Eileen has made a lifelong commitment to outdoor learning and equitable access to the outdoors through both her professional and personal life. She has over two decades of experience in outdoor learning, having taught over 25,000 New Mexican kids outside, has successfully  worked on six legislative bills, and built one of the largest capacity networks in the country. Today, she is an ongoing practitioner and teacher of embodied social justice and moving words into action and being. Her outdoor learning work now can be found as Board Chair for TOTAL (Teaching Outdoors to All Learners) NM, which she co-founded in 2023.

I was born and raised in northern Michigan but came to Florida for both undergraduate and graduate school. I love having the opportunity to educate students about the importance of being environmental stewards while using the incredible habitats of south Florida a living laboratory.

I am the United States Country Coordinator for The GLOBE Program (www.globe.gov) and also coordinate a state partnership in New Hampshire. The NH GLOBE Partnership is located at the Leitzel Center at the University of New Hampshire.

I am a senior at the University of Florida looking for opportunities in Environmental Education. I am very passionate about connecting with other people on a genuine human basis. I work to be the best person I can be every day, no matter the circumstances, and hope to inspire the same from others.
