Hello future friends!

My name is Candice Autry, I'm a transplanted Oklahoman living in Washington, DC.  I have been with middle school students for the past 16 years at the Sheridan School, an independent K-8 school in NW Washington, DC.  Previously I taught Earth and general science in public middle and high schools in New York City, Hunterton County, NJ, and Montgomery Country, MD.  I wanted to join the Academy to meet outstanding teachers, have fun, and have more tools in my toolbox when it comes to teaching and spreading the word about climate change.  As a human being living on this planet, I feel like it is my place to do as much as I can to raise awareness about climate change.  I love to travel, read, look at art and architecture, do yoga and be a sous chef.
