Taylor Burgh

Taylor Burgh grew up in Connecticut and pursued a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from the University of Connecticut in 2009. Burgh has worked with kids since the age of 16 and has a passion for engaging young minds. Eventually, she combined her two passions and has been working in nonprofit science education ever since. Since moving to Alaska in 2015, Burgh has filled a range of science education positions. At Alaska Resource Education, she was first a STEM educator before transitioning to the Operations Director role. She also went back to school and received an occupational endorsement in Sustainable Energy from the University of Alaska, as well as a master’s of science degree in STEM Education from the University of Iowa. Burgh is passionate about the natural world, humanity’s connection to it, and building a more sustainable future through responsible resource use. She has been able to explore these topics in her role at ARE and loves sharing this knowledge with students and teachers across the state of Alaska.
