My name is Jacob Sanders, I am a 3rd year student at Ohio State University majoring in Natural Resource Management. 

As a STEM Innovation Specialist with a background of teaching in a Special Education classroom, I can convey how to integrate UDL to benefit everyone. With my experiences that have ranged in grades 3-12 Special Education to Gifted, I am confident in my ability to support other in providing adaptations and accommodations. 

I am a dedicated Marketing and DECA educator who loves bringing real-world business experiences into the classroom. I create a warm, inviting, and hands-on learning environment where students can collaborate, explore their creativity, and build the skills they need to succeed in school and beyond. Guiding students to grow, lead, and achieve their goals is what makes teaching so rewarding for me.

At MobilizeGreen, we are building the workforce of the future by connecting government agencies, corporations, and nonprofits with skilled, passionate individuals who are gaining the experience and training needed to lead and solve critical sustainability challenges.
