Sarah S.

I have a BA in Economics and a Masters in International Development and have always accepted highly diverse work contracts. I have worked mostly in environmental conservation at the community and government level, blending conservation with economic development for the most vulnerable populations. I also have extensive experience teaching. I am highly passionate about both formal and informal education. I have 8 years of teaching experience with preschool, elementary, high school students as well as adults in France, Costa Rica, Liberia, the U.S., the Philippines and Turkey. My teaching experience is mostly with the International Baccalaureate system, focusing on promoting critical thinking and creative problem solving to tackle the most pressing global issues. I have contributed to and created my own curriculum to meet student and community needs with an emphasis on environmental conservation and critical thinking. My specialty in the classroom is focusing on making learning fun and fostering student curiosity. I also love to help students express their feelings in a way that promotes healthy communication as a means to develop into kind and caring citizens. I have always taken work contracts that utilize my skills as well as help me develop professionally and personally. My highly varied work experience has helped me effortlessly learn new skills and excel in even the most challenging work roles. As a result of my unique work experience I think outside the box and always have creative solutions to unique problems.
