I have had the priviledge to be an informal and formal educator both in the US and abroad with over 30 years of guiding learning in life, earth, and physical sciences.  I am also a parent who has been intentional with my kiddo and the great outdoors so my daughter gets excited about nature (instead of running screaming).   www.linkedin.com/in/kimberlylnovak

I am a professor of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) at a small university in northern Japan. I have a Master's Degree in Linguistics and TEFL from the University of Colorado, Boulder, USA, and a Ph.D. in Cognitive/Corpus Linguistics from the University of Birmingham, UK. I also am a Yoga Alliance registered yoga instructor (ERYT500) and teacher trainer (RYS200). My recent research interest in Ecolinguistics was born out of the amalgamation of the previous interests, i.e., Linguistics meets Universal Humanity (meaning here the study of language related to the nonbinary realization of humans as part of our environment). 

I am writing this information on behalf of Global Initiative for Young Environmental Stewards, and I truly believe this website can provide all the information.

Greetings! I manage outdoor recreation and informal, environmental education programs at a MA land conservation non-profit called The Trustees. In this role, I've developed the education curriculum, community partnerships, staffing and operations for Mobile Adventures. Mobile Adventures is a custom van filled with outdoor nature play experiences for families in Environmental Justice Communities. The van travels to community events and festivals, local parks, and community centers, bringing pop-up style experiences designed to spark exploration, play, discovery, and curiosity with nature. 

What inspires me most about my work is the joy that comes from connection to nature and its ripple effect on environmental stewardship, climate action, and overall wellbeing.

Hi!  I have been a water, climate change and environmental educator for more than 30 years working with K-12 schools and with policy makers in more than 60 countries.  Today, I am writing and developing ECOMASTERS books and interactive learning materials for kids, with a focus on girls. I am consulting on a global small grants program working with 40 schools worldwide on environmental action and development of multiverse based interactive Scobaverse game which is working to engage kids in mapping local underwater environments, starting with the Maldives.  I am a storyteller and 'connector and pollenator' as an eePRO K-12 moderator, I look forward to learning and helping to share your stories.
