Robert hails from Northern New York State and has lived in New York City, Germany, Wisconsin, Long Beach and San Francisco, CA, and presently calls Santa Cruz, CA his 首页. He is an environmental and social justice educator, community activist, and 青年领袖倡导者.

Both programs focused on the voices and writings of youth experience and a mentor-driven curriculum seated within an environmental 正义的框架. These after school programs eventually gave rise to 2 consecutive public educational forums at 圣何塞州立大学 exploring the links between poverty, race, food, water, community-based activism, and green space accessibility 2016年和2017年. Later that same year at Soquel High School, Robert worked with a team of educators and artists to develop and co-teach a multi-media community-based educational forum/public performance that incorporated film and theater and focused on youth-led research through the lens of immigrant student experience.
Being an environmental and social justice educator, Robert’s pedagogical lens employs three elements that encompass 1) community-based education and engagement, 2) mentorship-driven research, and 3) activism and advocacy. This three-pronged approach creates the foundation that fosters strong ties between student youth civic engagement, academic scholarship & research in a university setting, and the communities that are tied to the complex intersecting issues that arise out of social and environmental injustices. 与课程 developed through the framework of critical and creative thinking, community-based collaborative effort, and place-based experiential learning; the research shows that our youth are at their best and fulfill their greatest potential when they are invested and involved in 'on-the-ground' real time creation of solution-based outcomes.
