Alison Paul Claimed

Alison Paul has more than 15 years of experience working in formal and informal educational settings, from Colombia to Chicago, strengthening people’s connections to themselves, others, and the place where they live. Alison is an active mom of two little kids, a yogi, a meditator, and an outdoor fanatic (including in Chicago’s winters!). In 2021 she brought together her love of the outdoors and her mindfulness practices by becoming a certified Forest Therapy Guide through the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) and she is excited to offer these walks to Chicagoland communities (in Spanish and English). She spends her weekdays working at the Field Museum of Natural History where she is the Keller Science Action Center’s Senior Program Manager for their Chicago Region community environmental work.
