Hi, I’m Erica!

I’ve been an educator for 17 years and have a big passion for science, art, nature, and of course, KIDS!

Some of my favorite professional experiences over the years include working as an Environmental Educator for the City of Bellingham, a Wildlife Educator for Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo, and an Environmental Analyst for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.

These roles helped become a skilled teacher with a deep knowledge of the natural and physical sciences, which motivated me to launch EverWild Forest School and the National Outdoor Learning Alliance in 2019.

I LOVE connecting children to the natural wonders of our world and sharing in the joy that’s experienced with each new discovery!
