As an educator, land steward, and certified permaculturalist, I'm committed to helping diverse communities connect with Nana Echeri - our Mother Earth - through land-based initiatives, programs, and workshops.

​

My journey includes K–12 teaching, research on student voice and culturally responsive pedagogy, curriculum design, adult mentoring, and coordination of holistic health and college prep. programs. I've presented at international conferences and universities on transformative pedagogy and co-authored Freirean Echoes: Scholars and Practitioners Dialogue on Critical Ideas in Education, exploring how to inspire hope in traditional classroom spaces.

​

Now, I integrate all these experiences through land-based curriculum and programming centered in hands-on land stewardship and reciprocity.
