Environmental Science
(she/they/siya)
I am dedicated to supporting students of all ages to explore and share their inner knowing and wise curiosity in community. I believe when we create safe spaces to do this, we can better meet the challenges of our time and be in our power together.
During the past 20 years as a community worker wearing different hats, I have had the opportunity to support interdisciplinary environmental learning in early education settings, language arts in junior high afterschool programs, and to advocate for the human right to safety and dignity in the context of access to housing, healthcare, and self-determination.
I hold a BA in interdisciplinary gender, race, and environmental studies from the University of Hawai’i and an MA in Environmental Policy from Vermont Law School. I love to use play, movement, tactile learning, creativity, and teamwork in my classes.
