Teacher · Researcher · Outdoor Instructor
I work at the intersection of science education, linguistics, and outdoor learning. As a student and teacher (upper secondary), I study how language choices shape what learners notice, argue, and remember, especially in sustainability and risk-related science. Outside the classroom I instruct field skills (kayaking, hiking, navigation, first aid), where communication is a safety tool, not a vibe. This site collects my research, teaching, and writing, plus the occasional field note.

Work
My work is about learning that stays robust under complexity: science education research, teaching across levels, and applied outdoor instruction. I focus on sustainability, ecology, and how people use evidence, especially when decisions involve uncertainty, risk, or real constraints.

About
I give talks and workshops on science education, sustainability, and learning under uncertainty, bridging research findings with practical classroom and field applications. I teach across university and upper secondary levels and also work as an outdoor instructor, which keeps my approach grounded in real constraints: time, weather, group dynamics, and decision-making.
Topics: evidence and reasoning in sustainability issues; risk perception and uncertainty in learning; field-based learning design; assessment that supports thinking, not just performance.
About
I work where research, teaching, and field practice overlap. As a student and researcher, I study questions in science education related to sustainability, ecology, and how people reason with evidence when situations are complex, often involving uncertainty or risk. Alongside research, I teach at the upper secondary level (science, English, and outdoor education), and I design learning experiences that combine conceptual clarity with real-world constraints: observation, experiments, and fieldwork.
Outside the classroom I instruct practical outdoor competence, kayaking, hiking, navigation, and first aid, with an emphasis on decision-making, group management, and systems that keep working when conditions get messy. I’m open to collaborations that connect research, teaching, and applied learning, including international and cross-curricular projects.
