Natasha Damiano (she/her)
Bachelor of Anthropology,
Master of Anthropology
Natasha has a Certificate in Advanced Teaching and Learning from the University of British Columbia, and is completing a PhD about musicking and belonging. Natasha is also the mom of a sixteen-year-old former nature school participant.
Passionate about music and the outdoors, Natasha is inspired by the challenges and opportunities presented through outdoor music education for children. Natasha started teaching in the Beyond 4 Walls program 2 years ago and helped develop the Nature Notes program and co-designed. Her interest in outdoor, placed-based education can be traced back to 2009 when she helped create a video for the International Society of Ethnobiology about the history of their organization.
As an educator Natasha values diversity, cultivating trust and reciprocal care, and community building through teaching and learning. In her spare time Natasha enjoys thrifting with her teenager and lots of ‘swing dancing’.
“I’m a nerdy polyglot who once studied a year of Sanskrit just for fun. I love learning children’s lullabies in new (to me) languages, so please let me know if you’d like to share a song!”
