Currently I am working for Sultana Education Foundation. A small non-profit out of Chestertown, Maryland. I am a deckhand/educator on board a tall ship named the Schooner Sultana. We take 4th and 5th graders out on the boat to teach them about the history and ecology of the Chesapeake Bay. This photo is from a few weeks ago. We were part of the Great Chesapeake Bay Schooner Race. We raced through the night from Baltimore to Portsmouth, Virginia. We traveled over 150 miles.

The boat I am working on right now means a lot to me. It is the first tall ship I have worked on and I have learned a lot from this experience. My favorite thing we do on board is fire off one of our swivel guns. The kids love this activity and I was the gunner for an entire month!

I love music and I have played the Viola for most of my life. I performed at Carnegie Hall twice with my High School orchestra. This is one of the earliest pictures I have of me playing.

I have been teaching in the outdoor setting since I graduated. My first job was at an Audubon Center in Dallas, Texas. I taught 4-16 year olds about birds and reptiles during summer camps as the education intern. Once the internship was over, I began teaching Outdoor Education at a YMCA in Graford, Texas. I absolutely loved Texas and felt very grateful to have taught at such a beautiful camp. Below is a picture on Devil's Island. Possum Kingdom Lake is in the background as well as the picturesque 'Hell's Gate.' Every year Red Bull hosts a cliff diving competition where people dive from right behind where this picture is located!

I graduated from Penn State in May of 2016 with a B.S. in Environmental Science Policy. I am currently attending Gwynedd Mercy University and hope to receive my Masters in Education and become a teacher in grades 4-8.

I am excited to become a Science teacher in a 7th grade classroom. Inspiring children to protect the environment and care about our future is extremely important to me. I believe that since children are our future, we must educate them and give them the tools to keep the Earth protected.
