My name is Nicola and I am a Nature Educator & the Founder of goodworm. Through a variety of ways, I connect people to plants and pollinators. I am a social worker turned social entrepreneur with a passion for designing and implementing environmental education programs that are engaging and experiential. 

 

I have 18+ years experience working with children and youth in a variety of roles such as mental health therapist and autism support worker. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Social Work from the University of Calgary, and post-bachelors degree certification in horticulture therapy, pollinator stewardship, and digital marketing. ​

​

I have lived and gardened in both the prairies (aspen parkland) and pacific coast. 

 

Infusing Traditional Indigenous Knowledge into my lessons is a core aspect of my pedagogy.
