Autumn always brings many changes our way, from colorful leaves to the start of sweater weather. The change we're most excited about this year? Welcoming our new Education Programs Coordinator, Katie Zimmerman!
Katie grew up camping and exploring in the forests and streams of Georgia. After graduating from Georgia Tech and obtaining her Master's in Teaching from Kennesaw State University, she moved to North Carolina to teach Barrier Island Ecology in the Outer Banks.
Since 2009, Katie has been involved in both formal and informal science education, but outdoor environmental education is her passion! When not busy connecting children to nature, Katie enjoys reading, climbing, snuggling with her two cats, and acting in local community theatre productions.
Katie has been with us for about a month now, and we're already super impressed with her leadership, creativity, hard work, and sense of fun! Welcome to the team, Katie. We can't wait to see how our outdoor education programs grow under your leadership!
