What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead climate and STEM education initiatives that connect sustainability strategy, experiential learning, partnerships, and equity-focused innovation.

At Francis W. Parker School, I design sustainability strategies and school-wide climate science experiences that engage more than 1,000 participants each year.

I created an interdisciplinary Climate Science and Environmental Justice program that reached full enrollment for six consecutive years, and I’ve equipped 200+ colleagues with practical climate education tools.

My work spans curriculum, partnerships, and experiential learning—from creating NGSS-aligned science resources for BrainPOP to building collaborations with nonprofits, scientists, policymakers, and research institutions.

I’m motivated by advancing equity and innovation in education and environmental systems, using hands-on STEM learning to help communities act on climate challenges.
