Educational Presentations
for Schools and Communities
My goal is to share my knowledge and enthusiasm about wildlife with people of all ages
to give them a better understanding of condors, sloths, and how to contribute to conservation.
I am currently located in Oregon!
Condors for Classrooms
(1st - 12th grade students)
This customizeable program teaches students about the endangered California Condor with topics covering:
fun condor facts
the important role of scavengers
conservation and ways students can help the environment
Students can go from never having heard about condors before to being big fans! A lot of scavengers have a bad reputation and are thought of as gross or ugly. I want to share my enthusiasm and passion so students can have a unique look at condors and see this fascinating and beautiful bird the way I do!
Duration: ~50 minutes.
Cost: $25 per classroom plus travel expenses.
Sloth Students
(1st - 12th grade students)
There is so much to like about sloths, but how much do your students really know about them (besides how adorable they are)?
Through delightful sloth photos and videos, we will:
learn cool sloth facts
dispel some misconceptions
explore how/why sloths should be appreciated as wild animals (cute but not cuddly)
Students are encouraged to show their enthusiasm for sloths by bringing sloth plushies or wearing clothing with sloth designs! I'll be decked out in sloth apparel too!
Duration: ~50 minutes.
Cost: $25 per classroom plus travel expenses.
Condors for Communities
(College and adult audiences)
Perfect for environmental organizations or community events, host this presentation to learn about the charismatic California Condor. From my firsthand experiences, I can offer your association an in-depth look at this fascinating endangered bird. Starting with the history and decline of the species and addressing the present challenges that condors face, the audience learns about condor social behaviors, life stages, and unusual traits to achieve greater appreciation for this species through captivating photos and videos.
Duration: one hour.
Cost: $50 plus travel expenses (negotiable for audience size).
Searching for Sloths
(College and adult audiences)
While working as a sloth researcher and tour guide, I quickly discovered that although people really like sloths, they don't know a lot about them! Through tons of adorable sloth photos and videos, your audience will learn everything about this much-beloved but often misunderstood animal. Topics covered include sloth history, modern challenges, their fascinating specialized behaviors, traits for life in the slow lane, and how to help sloths by showing your love responsibly!
Wearing sloth clothing or bringing sloth plushies is highly encouraged! I'll be decked out in sloth apparel too!
Duration: one hour.
Cost: $50 plus travel expenses (negotiable for audience size).
Travel expenses are flexible depending on distance I need to travel and how many presentations you require.
All presentations require a projector and internet.
