• For 9 months, I led a team of students from different schools on a project that introduced a new course of environmental education. The
  course was called ECO-CENTER I-IV and it focused on students who demonstrate a want and need to make a difference in our local ecosystem. The course would focus on population growth, water management, and water quality in the state of Florida. The courses objective would be to educate students on the negative impacts we as Florida residents have on our environment, while also providing tools, solutions, and resources to mitigate these risks.
