About

Hello I am Vidal!
Energized Explorer blog & Science Unplugged podcast is a fresh take on learning that blends art, geology, and education into an adventure of discovery. With a background in geology and a passion for creative exploration, my goal is to bring a hands-on approach to science that’s grounded in real-world experiences.

As a science teacher and lifelong learner, I aim to spark curiosity and critical thinking in every student and listener bridging the gap between the natural world and the classroom.

With over a decade of experience spanning geology, project management, and technical sales, I bring a unique real-world lens to science education. From conducting fieldwork as a project geologist to managing cross-disciplinary teams and integrating emerging technologies, my career has centered around solving problems and telling stories through science. This diverse background allows me to connect classroom concepts with authentic, hands-on applications empowering learners to see science not just as a subject, but as a tool for understanding and shaping the world around them.
