Research and teaching to further nature-based early childhood education rooted in reciprocity.
About Me
I am pursuing my PhD in education at the University of Cincinnati, where I am the Editorial Assistant for the Children, Youth, Environments (CYE) Journal.
Scholary Work
My research focuses on nature-based learning in early childhood and land-based professional learning for nature-based practitioners to deepen there professional practice through respectful, reciprocal engagement with Indigenous peoples and perspectives.
What’s New
I recently facilitated a panel of my colleagues sharing our work where teachers collaborate with Indigenous mentors and elders to respectfully integrate Indigenous ways of knowing, being, and doing into their nature-based teaching practice.
