Description: Lisa Anderson routinely gets her primary school students to think beyond their immediate bubble through lessons and projects that highlight the full stories of how we get food and other everyday products.

Lisa Anderson has been an educator for eight years. She currently holds a master’s degree in Education and Biological Sciences. During her teaching career, she has used her love for the environment to inspire the younger generation to pursue sustainable choices.
