Matthew is a dedicated, thoughtful, and resourceful educator. His work as a TA with environmental interpretation class and commitment to social justice stood out.   For his final project, he returned to his roots as an actor by writing a play that deals with eco-grief and hope.  Matt’s work is humble and powerful and comes with deep consideration of the people and other-than-people that make up his communities.
