Joshua has over a decade of experience working for youth development and non-profit organizations. After graduating from the University of Maryland with a B.A. in English, Joshua spent four years as a middle school teacher and sports coach. Following his time in the classroom, Joshua earned an M.S. in Sports Analytics & Management from American University. Since then, he has held several leadership positions for non-profit organizations focused on youth sports, outdoor education, career exploration, and college preparation. He is passionate about connecting factory farming to various issues like the climate crisis and food insecurity. His goal is to utilize his skills as an educator to increase awareness of these topics to students in not just Portland, but all of Southern Maine. When he isn’t working with students, Joshua enjoys traveling with his wife, having dance parties with his daughter, and whipping up meals for his family.
