Hi everyone!
I work for Conservation Nation, we are a new non-profit in Washington, DC. I run the marketing and communications and also the grants program. Being a small company we get to wear many hats!
Running the grants program means that I get to talk to our conservationists on a regular basis and hear about all the amazing work they are doing. That's definitely a highlight of my job. With our focus on broadening the conservation field to be more accessible, those conservationists are also part of a pipeline of connections we are making with young people in our education and outreach programs.
I’m excited to be a part of Wildhub and connect with everyone!
I work for Conservation Nation we are a new non-profit that relaunched in late 2021 after a long, prior history of being Friends of the National Zoo in Washington, DC.
I head up the marketing and communications along with running the grants program. Our focus is helping to make the conservation field accessible to a broader group of people and amplify those voices through our grants, education and outreach programs. My background is in program management, marketing and communications but my passion has always been in conservation and I've had the opportunity to volunteer for several conservation organizations. My two parallel paths have intersected with my role at Conservation Nation.
