Sarah grew up in Connecticut and graduated from Skidmore College with a BA in Environmental Studies. They grew up playing in the streams and woods surrounding their home and found a love of birding later in life while driving across the country with their partner. Sarah discovered her spark bird was a Steller’s Jay in Colorado - from then on she didn’t leave for a walk without a bird guide and binoculars. Prior to joining our team as the Youth Conservation Leadership Coordinator, they served as our Outreach and Education Americorps member from 2019-2021, and returned in the winter of 2022 as a sugaring assistant for our bird-friendly maple syrup production. They come to this position with six years of experience in environmental education and communications.
Sarah is Vermont’s Climate Watch coordinator, a nationwide community science program in which volunteers monitor an area for target bird species and collect data that can help ornithologists understand how birds are responding to climate change and shifting their ranges. She also is a certified Local Phenology Leader through Nature’s Notebook, a community science project that tracks the timing of life cycle events for plants and birds.
Sarah describes themself as an amateur naturalist with a desire to sponge up as much knowledge about the natural world as possible. They are excited to be back at Audubon Vermont working to provide opportunities for high school and college-aged youth around the state to engage in environmental conservation.
