Cheryl Boguski – Manitoba

« J'aime connecter les enseignants avec des ressources et des activités engageantes qui permettent à leurs élèves de découvrir le monde réel de la science du sol, de la croissance des plantes, de la gérance des nutriments 4B et de la santé des bassins versants. »

Cheryl joined Nutrients for Life Foundation Canada in the fall of 2021. She has been connecting with teachers through social media and emails to inform them about Nutrients for Life resources, events, Learning Gardens and workshop opportunities. Her experience as a science curriculum writer has been put to use while assisting in the development of the Canadian version of the H2Know case study investigation.

Cheryl has numerous years of experience as a Middle Years Science Teacher and a High School Biology and Topics in Science teacher using many of the Nutrients for Life resources within her own classes.

Cheryl has facilitated science workshops for teachers and students around the province of Manitoba and she looks forward to getting back out in the field and wetlands to guide students and teachers in their explorations once again.

Kendra Geisel – Saskatchewan

Kendra a développé sa passion pour l'agriculture dès son plus jeune âge, sur la ferme familiale. Cette passion, l'a amenée à poursuivre des études en sciences agricoles à l'Université de la Saskatchewan. Kendra souhaite s'assurer que les enfants aient l'opportunité d'en apprendre davantage sur les aliments qu'ils mangent, ainsi que sur la durabilité des sols qui les produisent.

Tamara Sealy – Atlantic & Ontario

« Venant d'un milieu agricole, j'ai l'impression que la majorité de la population ne comprend pas comment leurs aliments sont produits. L'agriculture, c'est passionnant ! »

Tamara began her career with Nutrient for Life Foundation Canada as an educational coordinator in 2014.

Tamara travels across Atlantic Canada to help youth understand food production and sustainable agriculture by delivering lessons and providing hands-on activities to students. Tamara is currently the foundation’s hub in the Maritimes and acts as a resource centre for teachers.

Tamara Sealy grew up in Northern New Brunswick on a family farm where she was exposed to agriculture early in her life. By the end of high school, Tamara knew she wanted to pursue a career in agriculture and attended Nova Scotia Agricultural College, now called Dalhousie University.

She graduated from the two year Plant Science Technician program and began her career in a commercial greenhouse.

Tamara also has experience working at Cavendish Agri Services as a Crop Scout for farmers in South-Eastern New Brunswick and at Co- op Atlantic as a procurement specialist, helping to supply farmers with their seed and crop protection to effectively run their business.

"I raise awareness about how Nutrients for Life is helping to educate students with great lessons and activities. With so many kids generations removed from the farm, it's crucial they understand the food production system from a hands on experience."

Shelly Hinchliffe – Ontario

Shelly joined Nutrients for Life in August 2026, bringing over 30 years of experience teaching High School Chemistry, Biology, General Science, and AP Chemistry.

Her passion for environmental chemistry took off in 2011 when she co-founded her high school's International Student Science Fair (ISSF) program, opening doors for students to join authentic research partnerships across local, national, and global levels. It was through an ISSF trip to a Nutrients for Life conference on food security and sustainable farming that her interest in agricultural science truly ignited—witnessing firsthand how the event inspired students to think critically about environmental sustainability.

Shelly is thrilled to join the team and looks forward to connecting fellow educators and their students with Nutrients for Life's resources.
