Does your learner love animals? Then this animal-themed social club is the perfect place for them! 

In each weekly meeting, we will focus on a new wildlife topic and engage in different ice-breakers and discussions to get learners connected with each other. 

The goal of this social club is to encourage learners to make friends and to discuss topics that they feel passionate about. We will occasionally use Google Slides to introduce new topics, but the majority of each session will involve discussions between learners and viewing wildlife photos as part of our discussion. We will occasionally watch short snips of nature documentaries and educational Youtube videos to prompt our discussions. We will meet weekly for 45-minutes. 

Here are the upcoming topics:

Hi there!

My name is Sarah and I am so excited to explore wildlife, science, and conservation with your learner. I was born and raised in the Metroparks of Ohio, but I currently call the Sonoran Desert of Arizona my home. 

I have had a strong love for wildlife and nature for my whole life and have built my career around it. In 2017, I graduated cum laude from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Conservation Biology and Ecology. I am a Certified Environmental Educator in Arizona and a Certified Interpretive Guide through the National Association for Interpretation.

After college, I worked on several wildlife studies in the field studying species like the western diamondback rattlesnake, spectacled rattlesnakes, and Bahamian rock iguanas. I gained experience as an informal educator developing programs for schools and homeschool students at the Phoenix Zoo, Shedd Aquarium, South Mountain Environmental Education Center, and SeaLife Aquarium. 

At the start of COVID, I founded an organization that creates wildlife and conservation STEM resources for K-8 students, including a science curriculum program that teaches core science subjects with an engaging animal twist. 

My greatest objective as an educator is to make science FUN. My classes cover important science topics while using wildlife and nature as our driving forces. 

------

I offer a series of one-time, multi-day, and ongoing classes. Please feel free to request one-time classes if you do not see a session posted. 

One-time classes and multi-day classes always include a live animal. Please check class descriptions for ongoing classes. 

Refund policy: 
~~For one-time classes: Please message me at least 48 hours in advance to find another available session.
~~For ongoing classes: Please request a refund by messaging me at least 48 hours before the session begins. Refunds will not be offered if class is sold out as I cannot fill the spot of your learner.
~~One-on-one classes: Please reach out to reschedule at least one week in advance.
