NATURE CENTER AT SHAKER LAKES: STAFF DIRECTORY

Dear Friends,
I am honored and humbled to have been appointed as the next President and CEO of the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes, and to succeed Kay Carlson – a visionary leader whose countless successes from 15 years as President & CEO have primed the Nature Center to flourish for years to come. The dynamic team, dedicated board, and committed supporters have energized my drive to further the mission of the Nature Center. In the coming years, my knowledge of ecological restoration, background in environmental education, and successes in curating inter-organizational collaborative efforts will grow the Nature Center as a community and ecological resource. In everything we do, our team will continue to strive to be a welcoming and inclusive environment for all. This effort, nor any we undertake, can be done alone. Our team relies on our partnering organizations and regional advisors to ensure a meaningful experience for all visitors.
For those members and supporters that have helped us get to where we are today, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! For those who are looking for a way to make an impact or reengage with our team, we will write this next chapter together. There is a great opportunity that lies in front of us to lead the region through the woods and demonstrate the importance of our dedicated work here in the Shaker Parklands. I look forward to serving the community as the next President & CEO of the Nature Center at Shaker Lakes. I’m inspired by this region that we call home and excited for all we will accomplish together.
You can find me in the trees!
