Nadine Slavinski’s first career as an archaeologist brought her to excavations in Peru, Costa Rica, and Germany. After discovering the rewards of teaching young visitors about these sites, she made the switch to education and went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Education from Harvard University.
She has been teaching in international schools since 1996 and enjoys working in the classroom as well as in non-traditional settings. Her "Lesson Plans / Hands-On Learning" books draw on her teaching experience and familiarity with a wide range of international education programs.
A lifelong sailor, Slavinski has taken two extensive sabbaticals with her husband and young son aboard their 35 foot sloop, sailing the Atlantic and Pacific oceans while home schooling. These trips inspire her fiction works, which place memorable characters in exotic locations and vividly capture the fun, fascinating world of globe-trotting sailors.
Slavinski is the author of five books. Watch for her upcoming novels: The Silver Spider Rum for Neptune
