She has continued her involvement in outdoor education through her work at Victoria Nature School and Seedlings Forest Education working with preschool students. Briana is passionate about meeting children where they are at and joining them in imaginative play. She hopes to encourage children in developing skills in empathy, compassion, stewardship and connection to nature.
