Increasing the environmental literacy of adolescents is my passion. I continually strive to develop new ways to inspire students and teachers to engage them in exploring our changing planet.
I'm honored to be a 2026 Fund for Teachers Fellow! I'll be exploring water systems, climate change, and human resilience from the Himalayan highlands down to the Indian Ocean this summer. Keep an eye out for photos and classroom activities to come!

I was encouraged to apply for a Bright Ideas Grant during an EARTH (Education and Research: Testing Hypotheses) workshop with the NC Coastal Science Institute.
I served as a teaching assistant for this professional development course with National Geographic. I love sharing ideas with teachers around the world to engage students in understanding "why there" as they analyze data to answer questions about their communities and the world.
My journey with National Geographic through the Educator Certification and later as a Grosvenor Teacher Fellow has elevated my teaching and appreciation for exploration with my students.
