A: I used to play the violin/fiddle!
6: When did you start at Conservation Partners?
A: I was brought on as a seasonal worker in 2005 and came on board as a member of the regular staff in 2012. I’ve worked many roles at Conservation Partners which has taught me a lot!
7: What has been your favorite part about working at Conservation Partners?
A: Working with landowners! I love hearing their individual stories and building genuine relationships with them. It has been very rewarding!
8: What has been the biggest challenge you have encountered at this job?
A: The biggest challenge has been trying to educate people on the actuality of the easement donation process and overturning the negative factors that landowners have heard through rumors or stories. There is, most often always, a concern with ownership rights when an easement comes into play. I try to address those concerns in hopes to ease that anxiety or hesitation.
