My time at Shaver’s Creek guided me in a way that I was able to lean into the joy and quirks and nature-loving elements of myself. Forever grateful.
Years at Shaver’s Creek: 2012–2013
Positions Held: Outdoor School, Maple Harvest Festival
Current Company/Organization: Emerald X
I’m currently living in the Catskills, where I am leading a team of digital event professionals full-time while hosting community craft events for pleasure.
My time at Shaver’s Creek and within the RPTM program helped me to develop leadership skills and career practices grounded in collaboration, interrelationships, and the natural world around us.
What I gained there no doubt influenced my decision to live so rurally and enjoy earth’s beauty through every season.
My friends and family will forever tire of my full enthusiasm about the maple sugaring process, brought to me by the Tree-to-Table experiences at Shaver’s Creek’s annual Maple Harvest Festival.
Thank you Shaver’s Creek for ushering me toward a more intentional lifestyle and a spirit of lifelong learning and for opening the doors to long-term friendships with co-counselors and like-minded individuals!
