Introduction: Jeromie Whalen (GGL)

Hey all! Very excited about going on this journey with you to Costa Rica!

My name is Jeromie Whalen, and I’m a Communications and Media Production teacher at Northampton High School in Northampton, MA. I’m also proud to share that I recently earned my Ph.D. in Mathematics, Science, and Learning Technologies from the College of Education at UMass Amherst.

Beyond academics, I’ve had the privilege of joining five of these trips over the years. I use the word privilege intentionally—these experiences are some of the most authentic and impactful learning opportunities you’ll likely have in your life so far. The connections you build with local communities and with one another are incredibly meaningful, and I look forward to witnessing that growth every year.

I’ve been to Costa Rica twice, so I know the ropes! If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m really excited to meet you all!

Much love,

Jeromie
