Hi there! My name is Ms Cher, and I can't wait to meet you. I love gardening, wildlife, and just about anything related to nature. I am a certified Master Gardener, a National Wildlife Federation Habitat Steward, and a National Wildlife Federation Monarch Steward. I love to share my excitement about the natural world with classes on subjects like bird watching, nature crafts, herb gardening, Monarch butterflies, and more!

I have years of experience teaching workshops for kids in Girl Scouts and 4-H ... I've even taught babysitting and basic first aid classes for the American Red Cross. 

I am a past high school forensics coach for one of the largest high school campuses in Michigan. I have coached many state finalists, as well as a state champion. I have judging credentials at the tournament, District and State Competition levels. Although my main duties were coaching public address competitors, I have coached dozens of interpretive competitors as well. I am a past member of the NFL, or National Forensics League - a nationwide organization that gives high school students the opportunity to polish their speaking skills and compete in regulated National tournaments. 

I am also a writer of non-fiction, with well over 1000 published articles for entities such as Yahoo News, Home Depot, Quaker Oats, Curves, and many more.

I believe the best way for young people to learn is through games and hands-on activities, and I try to build those into each class I offer.

I love music in any form and am a proficient flutist. I have given flute lessons to dozens of students over the years and plan to begin giving lessons here on Outschool as well.

Oh - and I'm a Pokemon Go expert - Level 48!

Academically, I hold a BSBA in Marketing, and an AAS in Environmental Science.
