Our Founder

I believe education is the key to guiding humanity and our planet towards a bright, sustainable future.

​

I founded Outdoortopia in 2017 as a blog and online community for empowering teachers and other educators to get children outside the classroom, and grow into adaptable, open-minded and environmentally responsible human beings.

​

"Together we can cultivate the changemakers of the future!"

​​

I have a MSc (by Research) in Science of the Environment and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from British universities.

​

For over a decade, I have facilitated outdoor and experiential education programs worldwide for children of diverse ages, abilities, cultural identities, special educational needs and life circumstances in a wide range of environments.

​

I have developed expertise in the following educational disciplines/areas of competence including:

​​​

•          Youth Leadership & Empowerment

•          Outdoor Skills & Competencies

•          Adventure & Expeditionary Learning

•          Education for Sustainable Development (ESD)

•          Global Citizenship Education (GCED)

•          Environmental Field Studies/Citizen Science

•          Service Learning/Community Engagement

​​

Now it's time to continue to grow, exchange knowledge and ideas, and connect with outdoor and experiential educators worldwide!

​​

Help us boost our reach and impact by joining the conversation and becoming a Community Member or subscribing to the blog.
