Welcome!

At Wild Raven Learning, I believe education should be creative, inclusive, and rooted in curiosity, wonder, and meaningful connection. Through nature journaling, storytelling, fantasy-inspired learning, literature, art, and creative exploration, I create classes, resources, and learning experiences that encourage children, teens, and families to observe deeply, imagine boldly, think critically, and grow in confidence. From sketching mushrooms in a field journal and building fantasy worlds to discussing literature and strengthening writing skills, each offering is designed to nurture creativity, curiosity, and a genuine love of learning in a welcoming and imaginative environment.

At the heart of every class, resource, and workshop is a belief that curiosity, wonder, and imagination belong to everyone.

Hello there! I’m Danielle, an artist, educator, writer, and worldschooling parent who believes learning should be creative, meaningful, and accessible to everyone. Through Wild Raven Learning, I create classes and resources that blend storytelling, literature, art, nature-based learning, and imaginative exploration in ways that help learners build confidence, curiosity, and a lasting love of learning. Over the past decade, I’ve taught, homeschooled, and tutored learners of many ages and backgrounds, from early childhood through pre-college academics. I hold a B.A. in Modern English Literature from the University of California, Santa Cruz, a Master’s in Travel and Recreation from CSU East Bay, a B.C. Teaching Certification in English Language Arts, a 120-hour TEFL certification, and a Nature Journaling Educator’s Certificate through the Wild Wonder Foundation. Whether we are discussing literature, building fantasy worlds, sketching in a nature journal, or strengthening writing skills, my goal is always to create welcoming learning experiences that encourage wonder, creativity, critical thinking, and meaningful connection.
