Lauren co-creates and participates in climate change education and outreach efforts, primarily engaging with graduate students professionals at collaborator agencies. In her time with the Climate Hub, she worked with a diverse team from USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, USDA Office of the Chief Economist, Cornell University, EcoAgriculture Partners, and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture to create and deliver landscape-scale climate-smart agriculture curriculum to officials at the sub-national level. This work included a pilot of the curriculum in Morogoro and Zanzibar, Tanzania.
Lauren has 4 years of teaching experience at the undergraduate level and enjoys engaging students with the world around them. She has an inclusive view of education and believe in the value of both liberal arts and vocational skills focused pedagogies. Through a teacher-scholar approach, students in my classroom learn foundational, discipline-specific concepts while also developing skills in critical thinking. Where appropriate, Lauren encourages collaborative learning and experiential opportunities, and always challenge students to make connections between classroom topics and the "real world."
