I am working on getting my teaaching certificate!

3rd grade teacher

I love finding and sharing new ways to learn, especially when it's connected to one's place. My time in the Montana Conservation Corps, AmeriCorps, and as a teacher changed how I view education- the chance to glean a sense of connection from nature is something I want every student to experience.

I am an educator and an advocate for public-involvement and community science, working at the intersection of people, nature, climate, and science. I am the PI on the MacroBlitz project, leading a team of National Geographic explorers to empower educators from the Canadian forests to Chilean Patagonia to teach how to survey aquatic macroinvertebrates using iNaturalist as a data platform. My scope of work includes professional and curriculum development on water, soil, and grasslands. I facilitate and advocate for braiding Indigenous ways of knowing and Western STEM in my work.

Hi I'm Devyn! My love for summer camp and the outdoors drove me to become Camp Director at the Everglades Youth Conservation Center in West Palm Beach Florida.
