What job on your resume or LinkedIn was most formative for you? Why?
Working as a Teaching Fellow at Conserve School helped define my future career path and graduate school studies in environmental education. It was here I learned the importance of place-based, student-centered learning and honed my skills as a teacher and mentor to high school students. I have used these skills to inform my current work as a stormwater educator and mentor for a high school climate resiliency pilot program.
