John G. Shedd Aquarium Manager of School and Teacher Programs
Chicago
Non-traditional educator focused on providing natural and developmental experiences to youth worldwide. My passion is in Natural History Interpretation and Museum Education, connecting individuals to the natural environment and cultural resources in unique and personal ways. Interpretation is a communications process that reveals meanings and relationships about natural, cultural, historical, and recreational resources. As a manager of education programs, I seek to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in programming and staffing while striving to increase compassion, curiosity, and conservation for the aquatic animal world.
