Ammal Jama, Lead Teacher

Hello!
My name is Ammal and I am thrilled to be joining the BOPN Community as a half-day Arboretum Teacher. I have a passion for nature-based education, and spent the last few years teaching at a nature preschool.

In the past, I've spent summers as an Assistant Camp Director. I am so excited to learn from my new students, and can't wait to explore all the Arboretum has to offer.

I grew up in Roxbury and Jamaica Plain, so I have a deep appreciation for nature access in urban landscapes. In my free time, I can be found biking through Boston, walking around Jamaica Pond, paddleboarding in the summer, and skiing in the winter!
