Nina moved to Vancouver one year ago from Ontario to do a Masters in Education at UBC. In her time here, she has fallen love with the mountains and air of BC, and has learned a lot about re-centering the Earth as a main component of education. She is deeply passionate about social justice and through her direct work with children she became aware of the ways outdoor education can serve as a space for healing wounded relationships in our complicated social world. She builds her curriculum on a foundation of curiosity and exploration, committed to creating safe spaces for all to learn alongside one another.

Nina believes our bodies and senses must be honoured when learning and the outdoor environment provides a beautiful canvas for growing children’s bodies and minds. If Nina were a plant she would be sorrel, unexpectadely sweet and sour, and creating an element of surprise to those around her.
