Summary
I’m an experienced and passionate early childhood educator who thrives in outdoor, nature-based learning environments. With a strong foundation in child-led, experiential education, I’ve spent the past 7 years creating meaningful, play-centered experiences that inspire curiosity, confidence, and a lasting connection to the natural world.
I love working as part of a collaborative team and bring a flexible, creative approach to every day, rain or shine. Whether it’s guiding young learners through a forest trail or helping them discover science through puddle play, I believe the outdoors is one of the richest classrooms we have. I’m always eager to grow, face new challenges, and contribute to a learning community that values both children’s development and the power of nature.
