After this summer\, she was hooked! \nAfter graduating from the College of St. Catherine\, Sarah was able to attain a permanent Visitor Services Specialist position at Minnesota Valley NWR. A few years later\, she picked up volunteer coordination as a part of her duties. Recently\, Sarah dropped the Visitor Services portion of her position and has been able to focus on volunteers/volunteering. \nWhen not at work\, you will find Sarah exploring the outdoors with her husband and 6-year-old son\, fishing\, hiking\, birding\, and camping. The Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is one of their favorite places to visit!
