Heather joined the Mount St. Helens Institute team as Volunteer Programs Manager in 2024. Heather worked as an interpretive park ranger on the Mount St. Helens National Volcanic Monument at Johnston Ridge Observatory and Ape Cave in 2017, 2018, and 2019 and most recently came to us from Bonneville Lock and Dam. She studied Natural Resources at Oregon State University, focusing on Fish & Wildlife Conservation. Her favorite place to be (other than Mount St. Helens!) is her garden, where she is transforming her yard into a native landscape.
