Hello, I'm Ben! I'm currently an outdoor educator living in Santa Cruz, with a Bachelors in Biology. Growing up, I was bullied in elementary school, and it wasn't until I had the privilege of switching to a private school that made me realize school can be a transformational space that aims to cultivate lasting change through student agency and service. 

In light of this, my goal is to unleash the creativity of teachers and students to develop and implement local climate action projects in their homes, schools, and communities. My goal is to apply my community building skills and environmental knowledge to take the next step with your school/community in fighting for our planet's health.
