Leadership & WILDE Friday Direct & Occasional Teacher
Leah is a dedicated outdoor educator with a strong background in environmental education and a deep commitment to connecting children with nature.
Leah holds a B.Ed. from Laurentian University, where they specialized in the Outdoor Ecological Experiential Education (OEEE) program — an intensive, hands-on approach to teaching through nature-based and experiential learning. With this strong academic foundation, Leah brings a wealth of knowledge and practical experience to her roles at WILDE.
Over the years, she has taught outdoor education and recreation in a wide range of settings, including schools, camps, and conservation areas across Southern Ontario and internationally.
Whether leading nature interpretation hikes, facilitating team-building activities, or guiding wilderness skills workshops, Leah is passionate about helping students build confidence, resilience, and a lifelong connection to the natural world.
Leah embraces a student-led approach, allowing curiosity and wonder to guide each learning experience.
She believes that meaningful education begins with connection — both to the natural world and to each other — and strive to create a learning environment where children feel safe, seen, and empowered to explore. By following the interests of their students, Leah fosters deeper engagement, creativity, and critical thinking.
When she’s not teaching outside, you can usually find Leah hiking local trails with her dog.
She’s currently learning to embrace winter by taking up snowboarding — one snowy tumble at a time! Indoors, she loves cozying up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate.
Leah believes that with the right mindset, anything — from a muddy trail to a rainy day—can be turned into an adventure!
