I am extraordinarily proud of the work I do for this organization and am excited about the work to come moving forward. I started with NYCPP this past spring as a volunteer coordinator and got to connect with over 150 volunteers and countless beach goers to talk about this special little bird. The Piping Plover and I have our own special story, as my grandma was a National Park Service volunteer protecting the plovers at Sandy Hook in New Jersey in the 90s. To get to work on the Rockaway peninsula and look just across the water to the beaches my grandma once watched plovers on is pretty magical. 

This past fall I came into a new role as Education Director at the Plover Project and I am currently designing curriculum, working on project proposals, and connecting with community partners to engage the youngest bird advocates out there. Many who know me know that conservation causes have been close to my heart since a very young age, and I feel so grateful to do such full circle work that inspires the next generation of environmentalists and builds on a culture of conservation in NYC. 

Please donate so that this work can continue, thank you all for your support!
