I earned a Bachelor of Science in Agricultural Engineering from Mississippi State University with studies focused on technological systems related to natural resources and the environment. I was a Trainer and Safari Guide at the Kilimanjaro Safaris attraction at Walt Disney World; yes, driving the giant trucks around wild African animals! I educated guests of all ages, and my colleges as well, about the animals, their ecosystems, and the conservation efforts in place working to protect them. I worked with children aged 18 months to 5 years at a daycare and learning facility while earning my Associate in Science. I volunteered to tutored my peers in high school in a broad range of subjects but enjoyed helping with math and science the most, no surprises there! The most valuable lesson I have learned in my experience as an educator has been to meet the student where they are. This means understanding their learning style, background, and areas of struggle and building a plan of action tailored to those needs. I hope to connect soon!
