My name's Laura, I'm kind, proactive, and enthusiastic. I'm motivated by helping others and the magnificence of nature. Currently looking for outdoor education roles anywhere in the world!

Experience as an Outdoor Educator at a summer camp, a Substitute Art Teacher at an art school, and a Direct Childcare Worker at a children's mental health facility. I'm certified in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention by Cornell University, as well as CPR and First Aid by the American Red Cross. Additionally, I was a Project Manager for Netflix, and I'm expertly organized and detail-oriented. I've also enjoyed volunteering with Inner-City Arts, Girls Who Code, and the Boys & Girls Club.

I'd be grateful to speak further about Outdoor Education / Adventure work opportunities in New Zealand or elsewhere. Thank you!
