Descrição

I retired from full time teaching in 2016 with the Hawaii Public Schools. I am very excited to begin a workaway project. I taught many subjects, including computers, English as a second language, and agriculture. In 2002 I completed a certificate in English Language Learners (ELL). I’ve taught English to foreigners off and on since then) As an agriculture teacher, I incorporated organic farming into our public school. I practiced a technique of farming called Korean Natural Farming, using indigenous microorganisms to enhance the soil. While living in Hawaii, I participated in numerous projects working to remove invasive species from Hawaii’s native forests.

My passion has always been focused on environmental issues. In 2000, I completed my Master’s degree in Environmental Education, focusing on ecotourism. Since receiving my degree, I have consulted several times in ecotourism projects in Russia, Bolivia, and Brazil. I worked as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer for two years in ecotourism and environmental education in Rwenzori Mountains National Park, Uganda.

I’m passionate about caring for our planet and helping to secure good health/education for everyone. Thank you for considering me for your Workaway position.

Please contact me with any questions or further clarification.

Me retiré de la enseñanza a tiempo completo en 2016 en las Escuelas Públicas de Hawaii. Estoy muy emocionado de comenzar un proyecto workaway. Enseñé muchas materias, incluidas informática, inglés como segundo idioma y agricultura. En 2002 completé un certificado en Estudiantes del Idioma Inglés (ELL). He enseñado inglés a extranjeros de vez en cuando desde entonces). Como profesora de agricultura, incorporé la agricultura orgánica a nuestra escuela pública. Practiqué una técnica agrícola llamada Agricultura Natural Coreana, utilizando microorganismos autóctonos para mejorar el suelo. Mientras vivía en Hawái, participé en numerosos proyectos que trabajaban para eliminar especies invasoras de los bosques nativos de Hawái.

Mi pasión siempre ha estado centrada en los temas medioambientales. En el año 2000, completé mi Maestría en Educación Ambiental, con especialización en ecoturismo. Desde que recibí mi título, he sido consultor varias veces en proyectos de ecoturismo en Rusia, Bolivia y Brasil. Trabajé como voluntaria del Cuerpo de Paz de EE. UU. durante dos años en ecoturismo y educación ambiental en el Parque Nacional de las Montañas Rwenzori, Uganda.

Me apasiona cuidar nuestro planeta y ayudar a garantizar una buena salud y educación para todos. Gracias por considerarme para tu puesto de Workaway.

Algo mais...

I am a mature woman, extremely athletic and fit, with a variety of skills to offer. I love all animals (except pigs and mean goats). I have grown gardens all my life, a passion of mine. I live and travel very simply. I am especially interested in ecotourism projects, communities benefiting from their surroundings and the folks who visit it. If you think I can be of assistance to you, I look forward to hearing from you.
