Nayiri leads the Program team to develop and implement programs that engage diverse learners and leaders to address local environmental challenges. Before joining EarthGen, Nayiri was a learning specialist at Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, engaging urban youth in immersive environmental education experiences. When Nayiri is not at work, she’s checking out the latest foodie hotspot or hiking the scenic trails in Washington state.


“I love watching students and teachers make authentic connections between their local community and global issues and then take action to develop solutions.”
