I have 13+ years of experience in educating and empowering adolescent to adult learners, both in the classroom and through professional learning.

I am a Naturalist who enjoys many aspects of life. I am passionate about plants and animals but have a huge interest in digital design and artwork. I love to play video games to explore how design and artwork within them are reflecting real work exploration. As a naturalist, I want to expand the use of multimedia use to educate others on my localize environment and history.

Aaryan Doshi created Cirfin.org to bring awareness about circular economy and how fintech solutions can be leveraged to create incentives to facilitate a transition from linear economy to circular economy.

As Director of Education and Outdoor Equity at TreePeople, Southern California's oldest and largest environmental nonprofit organization, I oversee a number of programs of informal, place-based environmental education. Our service learning program, Generation Earth, has targeted secondary teachers and students throughout Los Angeles County for 25 years, providing water, waste, and forestry experiential projects. TreePeople’s Outdoor Equity programs support youth and their families to connect with local natural and wildland areas. Through field trips, participants share experiences of their community and explore ways to steward and sustain their neighborhood’s natural resources while they have fun through hands-on learning.

Liz Train is a co-coordinator of the Audubon at Home Program for Fairfax County and is also an Audubon at Home Ambassador. Liz is a certified Virginia Master Naturalist (Fairfax Chapter) and a certified Virginia Extension Master Gardener (Fairfax- Green Spring Gardens Unit).  She is an active volunteer in northern Virginia, supporting numerous educational and stewardship programs for Fairfax County Park Authority, Fairfax County Public Schools, Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute, and the annual USGS Breeding Bird Survey.  Liz leads two Virginia Master Naturalist training cohorts annually as co-chair of the training committee for the Fairfax Master Naturalists and additionally actively participates in the annual training of Extension Master Gardeners.

Liz’s motivation to be involved in environmental work is grounded in her belief that we all play a critical role in mitigating the effects of climate change, that no measure is too small, and understanding the basic principles of what it takes to create a healthy habitat for wildlife is an important tool for every homeowner.  Improving our Chesapeake Bay watershed water, soil and air quality and increasing biodiversity are central to the work Liz does.  Liz resides in Fairfax County.
