Goodbye 2025, thank you for the lessons and the love. Hello 2026, be gentle please.

Can you tell what my number one song was in 2025? 😂 Also wrapping up year #4 being a Sourdough Scientist who releases stress and processes grief by folding dough and dancing in my kitchen. Wishing you a happy and healthy end to 2025 and a great start to 2026!

I am still scratching my no-see-um bites, but I would do it all over again. Chaperoned over 100 6th graders on an overnight trip to Jeykll Island at @campjekyllga4h and 10/10 recommend.

Thankful for wild places and the time off work to enjoy them. Camping at Cumberland Island National Seashore was just the nature fix I needed.

As a lifelong environmental steward and science te

As a lifelong environmental steward and science teacher, I believe conservation isn’t just something we teach, it’s something we grow, together. In every school community I’ve been part of, I’ve built outdoor classrooms with pollinator gardens, because I want students to see that science is alive, wild, and worth fighting for, and that they are part of the stewardship story.

Teaching about monarchs is something I do every year and there is nothing better than watching a student spot their first chrysalis or a butterfly they helped protect. In that moment, they realize they can shape the world for the better, and that even small acts, like planting native flowers, can ripple into global conservation. These gardens are places where students can fall in love with nature, and hopefully protect monarchs as fiercely as I do.

This year, I applied for the @naturalhabitatadventures fellowship to study the monarch butterfly migration in Mexico, one of the greatest natural phenomena on Earth. Experiencing it firsthand would allow me to bring an even deeper story of connection, resilience, and stewardship back to my students.

Here’s to pollinators, to passionate young scientists, and to learning from the lands and cultures that protect monarchs on their journey. Cross your fingers and say a prayer for me, the butterflies and I are hoping for good news!

Please like and comment to convince @naturalhabitatadventures that I’m the science teacher they need for this scholarship!

It’s ok to be sad, but have you ever tried gardening? It’s cheaper than therapy and it’s just one of my many healing hobbies. More about my other healing hobbies and how to stay grounded in a crazy world in my September/October Substack newsletter, plus my roselle syrup recipe. Link in bio, enjoy!
