I hold a Master's Degree in Psychology with a specialization in Child and Adolescent Development and have years of experience working specifically with neurodivergent learners. My approach combines academic rigor with empathy and creativity, aiming to meet each learner where they are. Additionally, I have completed several professional development courses in outdoor education and STEAM teaching methods to ensure that our adventures in learning are both safe and deeply enriching. My passion for nature and education drives me to create experienteach andteach but inspire a lifelong curiosity and respect for the world around us.

Students will learn everything they need to know during class. I'll adjust the class to meet each child's needs. For example, we may listen to stories instead of reading out loud or write a story together if that's what the students need.
