Join us as Alex describes the importance of cities designed with nature-integrated and human-centricity. . After teaching English in Thailand and Nicaragua and facilitating a STEM program at a charter elementary school in central Arizona, Alex was inspired to work towards promoting more accessibility, easier mobility, and the activation of creative interactive spaces for communities to thrive in. His work as a youth soccer coach has informed his belief in the power of teams and a unified purpose for achieving goals. Additionally, he has found that innovative problem solving and active community engagement can help mold our neighborhoods into becoming safer, healthier, and more livable environments that can profoundly impact mental and physical well-being. #teacher #soccer #urban #design #cityplanning #podcast #video #videoshort #transformation #school #students #depression #mentalhealth #physicalhealth
