"Meet an Explorer"
Speaking at the Meet an Explorer at Helen Tyson Middle School in Springdale, Arkansas was such a meaningful and energizing experience! I loved sharing what being an explorer really means—staying curious, being brave, and caring deeply about our planet. The students asked thoughtful questions, especially about life in Antarctica. From Ms. Berry, the EAST Facilitator/SWARM 21CCLC Site Coordinator, “The kids were fascinated and think I’m fancy now for knowing someone who does such incredible things.”

I had the privilege of speaking to students at Manea Senior College in Bunbury Western Australia about living authentically, embracing adventure, and giving themselves permission to take risks. My talk and our discussions focused on encouraging them to explore who they are, discover what drives them, and realize there’s no single path to a meaningful life.
From Ms. Watson, the Innovation and Community Links Coordinator:
"You are extraordinary. You are such an inspiration to these students. They were blown away, and you helped them to realize that they have more agency than what they thought."
