Woodland walk! I love playing games amongst the trees and watching as they slowly change each season. Wellesley Woodlands is steeped in fascinating local history, so if we pay attention, the ecosystem tells us a great story.
What’s your motivation for being an outdoor instructor?
I love teaching, I love our natural environment, and I love being outside – so it was a no brainer!
Which area of outdoor education are you most passionate about?
Helping young people forge a connection to the great outdoors, hopefully a passion that will last for life, and empowering them to take steps to protect our beautiful planet.
What’s a fun fact about you?
Catch me on TV! I used to work at Heathrow Airport Animal Quarantine and featured in a few episodes of ‘Animal Airport’ feeding the snakes and cleaning out the tarantula.
Why do you like being outdoors?
Humans were made to be outside! I’m just getting back to my natural habitat.
What are your career ambitions?
To find as many ways as I can to promote nature connection in education. I hope to help foster understanding that humans are part of nature and vice versa.
