Hi everyone! 👋 I’m happy to be attending my first OEG conference, and hope it is the first of many.

My background is wildlife conservation, and I’ve been an online educator for over a decade, initially for Oxford University’s [Wildlife Conservation Research Unit](https://www.wildcru.org) and now with my own company, [VerdantLearn](http://www.verdantlearn.com) - a startup founded on open educational principles that aims to empower biodiversity professionals to better monitor and protect wildlife and wildlands.

I ran my first open course a few months ago, with the support of the [Open Education for a Better World](https://oe4bw.org) mentoring programme. If you’re curious about my open education work, here are links:

- [Introducing GIS for Conservation course materials](https://courses.verdantlearn.org/gis-beginner-oe4bw/) - using P2PU’s wonderful Course-in-a-Box coupled with H5P and Observable
- [Conservation learning community and course discussion forum](https://community.verdantlearn.org) - using Discourse

I’m keen to connect with others employing open educational approaches to nature conservation, climate change, environmental management and related fields.

Looking forward to learning from you all here - what a wealth of different activities there are!
