Public Outreach & Engagement

Offered education programs based on Leave No Trace's training structure ranging from 30 Minutes to 2 Day Trainings on Leave No Trace Skills & Ethics as well as Effective Communication for educating others in protecting parks & public areas. This experience helped me develop:

• Excellent organization and communication skills in coordinating educational workshops and events.

• Creating and delivering hands-on, location-based, and engaging environmental education content for group sizes from 3 - 200 audience members of all ages, K-12 to senior participants, in all occupations and ranging in environmental knowledge, ethics, and stewardship.

• Leading community teams to further develop and implement activities into their own programming in a train-the-trainer model of education.

• Ensuring educational information is consistent, relevant for audience, and based in the latest peer-reviewed science in Human Dimensions of Natural Resources and Recreation Ecology.

• Cultivating partnerships with park agencies and educational institutions; creating opportunities to build and sustain greater public engagement activities.
