Experience
Rodale Institute
Farmer / April, 2018 — November, 2018
Gained hands-on experience with organic farming practices, including soil preparation, planting, cultivation, and harvesting. Regenerative farming techniques included cover cropping, building soil with composting, crop rotations, all with reduced tillage.
Wildlands
Naturalist educator / April, 2017 — November, 2017
Developed, coordinated, and taught community and school environmental education programs to individuals of all ages four days a week for six months. Instructed hands-on education programs using interactive models and educational wildlife ambassadors to communicate the importance of conservation, habitat restoration, and environmental stewardship.
