Hi I’m Shaziya M. Jaffer, I’m an Elementary teacher working in the Burnaby School District. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family and watch my daughter play ice hockey. I’m so excited to be a part of Scrap U Kids so I can help educate children about the importance of recycling and taking care of the Earth. I’m learning at the same time and hoping to share my knowledge with others so we can work together to keep our earth clean and healthy for all.

Hi, I’m Jessica Alexanderson  —also known as Scuba Jess I’m an avid Scuba Diver and underwater photographer in Seattle, WA! I love to take photos of our amazing sea creatures. I also enjoy organizing clean-up dives, where we collect trash from the ocean and recycle what we can. I keep on seeing so much trash in our waters that I decided it was time to make a career change. I left my job after 15 years in the container shipping industry to start working at Scrap University Kids.
