I'm incredibly passionate about Environmental Sustainability. I believe that we all must take collective and individual responsibility to promote and preserve the environment.

I was an informal environmental educator for 30 years and now I am looking for a formal teaching position

Hey! My name is Christina Ferrari. I graduated from Duke in 2024 with a Bachelors in Linguistics, Journalism, and French. While studying at Duke, I led climbing, surfing, and hiking trips with the Outdoor Adventures program and interned at the New Orleans' Times Picayune in the features department. After graduating, I worked as the Sloss Fellow at the one-acre Duke Campus Farm, where I stewarded all communications and events. I currently work as a part-time Community Outreach and Events Coordinator at the Piedmont Feed and Garden Center. I have an interest in sustainable agriculture, environmental justice, and all creatures on this earth, and I love sharing what I learn with others! You can find me exploring the outdoors with all my senses through rock climbing, trail running, foraging, and backpacking. 

I have been teaching for 27 years. I've taught in both Maryland and Pennsylvania. I have a B.S. in Biology from Penn State University and a M.Ed. in Secondary Education from East Stroudsburg University.

I was born and raised in the Hazleton area.  I have been teaching for over 30 years in the district I attended - Hazleton Area School District.  I started out as a middle school science teacher and then switch to middle school ESL, I am currently a High School Biology teacher.

I have been a formal educator in South Carolina for nearly 30 years, teaching mostly earth science and working from grade 4-12. I am a Palmetto Environmental Education Certified (PEEC) teacher, a member of the Environmental Education Association of South Carolina (EEASC), and a National Geographic Certified Educator. I enjoy spending time outdoors and participating in too many related activities to list them all.
 

Laguna Canyon Foundation is dedicated to the conservation and ongoing protection of the South Coast Wilderness. We envision a thriving coastal ecosystem that serves as a source ​of inspiration, connection, and refuge for all.

Growing up, I lived on a farm and a family that uses conservation based practices. This inspired me to persue a degree in Environmental Science, and now I have a career in conservation as a resource technician! Taking the time outside of work to learn, conserve, and advocate for the environment is a deep passion of mine.
