Hi, I'm Sam Goldberg! I graduated from Elon University with a Bachelor of Science in Outdoor Leadership and Education and a Bachelor of Arts in Media Analytics. I've spent time working as a rappelling and climbing guide in Brevard, North Carolina, and at Elon Challenge, where I developed experiential education programs for diverse groups. I chose to join AmeriCorps at Teton Science Schools because I'm passionate about experiential education and place based learning. I am seeking more experience in the formal teaching world and I am looking forward to being in the Tetons, advancing my skills in environmental education. When I'm not teaching or exploring the outdoors, I'm an avid rock climber, highliner, skier, and mountain biker. I am constantly seeking new adventures in the wilderness.
