Cailyn's passion for conservation stems from her childhood spent in the beautiful mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. She graduated in 2022 from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with degrees in Environmental Studies and Political Science. Upon her graduation, she spent the greater part of a year in Southern Africa working with orphan homes in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. She moved to the Roaring Fork Valley in September of 2023 in search of more experience in the environmental field and is excited to join the team as a Watershed Educator with RFC. She looks forward to broadening her understanding of the Roaring Fork watershed and utilizing her passion for the environment to motivate students to be good stewards of their natural resources.
