As an educator, land steward, and permaculturalist, I am committed to lending my skill sets to
meet the needs of diverse populations interested in connecting, reconnecting or getting to know
Nana Echeri (Mother Earth) through land-based initiatives, programs and workshops.

​​​

As an educator, I have taught in the K–12 setting, carried out research on empowering
student voice and culturally responsive teaching, designed various curriculums, mentored adult,
and coordinated schoolwide outdoor education and college preparatory programs. ​​​

​​

Outside of the classroom, I have presented at international conferences and universities on
transformative pedagogy and educational approaches. I am also a co-author of
Freirean Echoes: Scholars and Practitioners Dialogue on Critical Ideas in Education, where I write
about inspiring hope in the traditional classroom setting.

​​

Today, my work is a combination of all my previous experiences, designing land-based programs
and working in land management.
