After receiving her degree in Environmental Studies, she taught environmental education for K-5 students at a local non-profit youth development organization in the Bronx. Haley is passionate about protecting wildlife, environmental conservation, and providing safe and accessible outdoor exploration opportunities for women, BIPOC, and the LGBTQ+ community. Through her work she hopes to further educate her community about local and large-scale environmental issues and traditional ecological knowledge, while influencing appreciation for and re-connection with nature and wildlife in NYC.
