  • Description

    I am a teacher and artist with a passion for mountain recreation!

    I would love to visit Chile and/or Patagonia to experience its beautiful mountains. I love skiing, mountaineering, camping, and otherwise just enjoying being outside.

    For the past few years I have been exploring connection to place by teaching an environmental science curriculum almost completely outdoors. I try to cultivate mindfulness in my classes, in hopes of forging personal connections to oneself and ones environment.

    I am interested in any type of environmental or conservation project, art project, childcare, teaching, tutoring, etc. and am very open to different ideas. I would love to practice and expand my Spanish literacy and ski as much as possible from mid June to mid August 2023.

    Looking forward to exploring and learning :)
