How did you get involved in AAEE?

I joined AAEE as a student while studying my M.Ed. in outdoor learning at the University of the Sunshine Coast, where I have taught Learning for Sustainability in Schools since 2011. I have enjoyed attending AAEE conferences and presenting my research findings in Adelaide, Cairns, Indonesia, Auckland, Sweden and Adelaide over the past few years. I answered a call to volunteer on the committee after I finished my thesis in 2014. I am currently teaching Secondary Science full time in a Sunshine Coast school.
