My teacher training, classroom teaching, non-formal education experiences and most recent work as a teacher educator have been informed by and are clearly oriented around an interdisciplinary, experiential, place and project-based approach to teaching and learning. I am passionate about co-creating with my students a space in which teaching, learning, and research are informed by relationships, community engagement, and a commitment to positive socio-ecological change. I seek opportunities with my students to challenge and explore our relationship(s) with the more-than-human world.

“There is a double learning process at issue here: cultural and educational systems need to engage in deep change in order to facilitate deep change—that is, need to transform in order to be transformative.”
