Emmy Ulmschneider
I 20 Wildlife Preserve
Education Coordinator
Science is in my blood! Daughter of a college physics professor and an early childhood educator, I learned at an early age that: science excites, connections matter, and there is joy in nature! Science has taken me to a Master’s in Biology and Geology, to illustrate field guides in Bermuda, to do geochemical research in the Bahamas, to discover a species new to science, and to explore for oil in the Permian Basin. As a scientist, illustrator, and educator, I have been sharing my love for nature and science with people of all ages for over three decades. In seventeen years of Gifted Education, I worked to create unique, authentic experiences which helped students develop a passion for science and the knowledge that they are scientists, creating a community that questions findings and builds learning together. Today, I bring this same philosophy to the outdoor education program at the I-20 Wildlife Preserve and Jenna Welch Nature Study Center.
