Retired science teacher in a local LEA. Now teaching Earth science to elementary education majors and others.

I am a Brazilian biologist and educator with over 18 years of experience teaching and leading science programs. As Department Chair in Saint Louis, Missouri, I coordinate all science teachers and teach high school biology. I hold a Bachelor’s in Biological Sciences and a Master’s in Animal Biology from the University of Brasília (UnB), with research in animal behavior, ethnobiology, and science education. I focus on sustainability projects, international collaborations, and exploring how students understand and engage with climate change and STEM topics.

I am an environmental science student at Appalachian State University. I have a concentration in Earth Systems and am working towards a minor in geology, a minor in geography, and a GIS Certificate. 

Brock Adler is an environmental education consultant and lobbyist, green investor, and Chair of the NAAEE Advocacy Committee. He has worked and volunteered in the field for many years, and helped lead the effort to include environmental education in the 2015 federal education bill.

Hi! I’m Paz, a 27-year-old queer climate organizer, and social anthropologist from Argentina. I lead programs at Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina (Youth for Climate Argentina), where I blend education, community organizing, and climate justice to empower youth and vulnerable communities. From co-founding a solar energy project in a marginalized neighborhood to launching a national school for young environmental educators, I turn climate concepts into tools for action, leadership, and green jobs.

I'm currently the Director of Adult and Family Education at the Chincoteague Bay Field Station in Wallops Island, VA. I have a strong background in outdoor recreation and education, environmental education, and experiential education. My greatest passion is outdoor accessibility for all (and dogs)!

I am an elementary educator that loves the outdoors.
