Meet Our Youth Educators

With a BA in photography from Southampton College, her love for art and exploring different mediums allows her to bring enthusiasm and warmth to every workshop. She always strives to create a space where kids can explore, play, and embrace their unique voices!
Inspired by the beauty and wonder of nature, she often uses the outdoors as a source of creativity. From paper making to botanical dyeing, she believes in showing kids how the world around them can spark imaginative and expressive projects.
Portraits of kids are also something she is very passionate about. Creating an experience where children look forward to getting their photo taken, in a free and expressive manner.
You can also find her at the Westhampton Farmer’s Market talking recipes to Sang Lee customers!
Cara Slotkin is a North Fork Native and humanities secondary educator with a BA from Ohio Wesleyan University, a M.Ed from the University of Maryland. She was also a prior Fulbright Education Scholar in Rwanda.
hen she's not in the classroom, running, or traveling, she spends time working at Sang Lee, in the fields or the Westhampton Beach Farmer’s Market. Whether she’s in the potato fields, sparking the culinary imaginations of kids, or slingin’ watermelons, she does it with enthusiasm!
She is passionate about spreading the joy and knowledge of locally grown organic produce. In bringing this energy into the workshops, she seeks to help kids see the fun and importance of farming (and then eating) your own vegetables.
Her favorite eats include Sang Lee’s Cherry Tomatoes and Yellow Watermelon!
