Jaimi DeFeo brings years of education experience to our team as Eden’s new Eden Education Program Manager. As she grows accustomed to her new role, we asked her 5 questions to get to know her a little better. Here is what she said:

Eden: How many years have you been teaching?  

Jaimi: Five.

Eden: What do you like best about teaching? 

Jaimi: Engaging with students and seeing them become enlightened over time or with certain topics they didn't understand. I also really like planning out the syllabus and activities, as well as learning new things with each semester and meeting new students.

Eden: What do you look forward to in this new role? 

Jaimi: I love expanding on great business ideas that include environmental education for the population. Since I think about environmentalism continuously in my daily life, and I am able to use my creativity in teaching and programming, I'm excited that my position at Eden allows me to use the best of my talents with a company that has long-term goals. It's exciting to help grow a business that is part of the environmental movement.

Eden: How would friends and family describe you in one word? 

Jaimi: Adventurous. Innovative. Yeah, I know, that's two. 

Eden: And finally, what do you like to do in your free time?  

Jaimi: Travel, songwriting, photography, walking/hiking, spending time with my dogs and husband on our horse farm.
