I studied agriculture and ecology in my self-designed major at Hampshire College. Hampshire College specializes in a learner lead and experiential pedagogy which aligns with Outschool's values. I studied how humans interact with nature and the environment and took courses ranging from soil science to entomology. I am a self-described ecology nerd and take pride in knowing the local plants and animals of my region. I have taken many plant walks with professional herbalists and I am familiar with the wild edible and medicinal plants of New England.
