Outdoor Educator with immersive and expansive experience at Camp Kirby (Camp Fire Samish), adept at leading engaging activities while ensuring student/camper safety. In my work, I creatively find ways to maximize the engagement and learning in activities by emphasizing student-centered learning in which students ask and answer their own questions while guided by me, nourishing and deepening their curiosity and building a foundation for future environmentally aware learning. Skilled in communication that is both effective and gentle, I foster positive interactions among participants and promote respect for their peers and environment.
