Consulting and Outreach
As an adventurous educator, I love to be creative and make a positive impact. I developed EduGrow to be able to grow and contribute beyond a traditional work day or environment. I do both paid and pro bono consulting and outreach services.
Resources
I have developed resources from two education grants sponsored by National Geographic Society (as well as some other things!) that I am happy to make available for free download here.
Research
Research is a long, challenging, and joyful process that I love to navigate, and contributing to a body of knowledge that impacts youth is the greatest adventure. Check out my previous and future research endeavors here.
What is your background?
With over 20 years of experience spanning K-12 traditional and charter school settings as well as non-formal education, I bring innovative, research-backed strategies to support youth and teacher empowerment. Check out my CV page for more information.
What is the focus of your research?
My past research focused on integrating an explorer mindset into various learning contexts, examining how an outlook of exploration can impact student engagement and empowerment. You can learn more about this study and future plans by visiting my research page.
What services do you offer?
I work full-time as a technology integration specialist at a middle school 9 months out of the year. In my teaching off-season, I enjoy offering a variety of education-related consulting, outreach and creative services, described on EduGrow, my LLC side-business page.
Why is fostering an outlook of exploration important?
Outdoor learning and an outlook of exploration promote student engagement, emotional resilience, and curiosity by connecting academic content to real-world experiences.
Who can benefit from your resources and services?
Through EduGrow, I offer customized programming for educators, schools, youth organizations, and caregivers, providing resources and services that enhance outdoor learning, STEM education, and social-emotional development.
