After completing my Ph.D., I became interested in problem-based learning while pursuing a degree in education. During the final stages , I focused primarily on developing educational games using programming in the R environment. After taking a break from my academic career, I founded my own company, Herp Trips. Although centered on ecotourism at first, Herp Trips always had a strong emphasis on research and education. The company's mission was to connect people of all backgrounds and ages with the ecology and natural history of amphibians and reptiles through direct field experiences. During the tours, I provided detailed information about each species we encountered. Eventually, I stopped leading the tours to pursue other career goals but kept Herp Trips active in the educational field.
