(ella)

Nacida y criada en Colorado, el amor por el aire libre y los terrenos públicos es fundamental para la identidad y el estilo de vida de Becca. Antes de unirse a RFOV, aplicó su pasión por el medio ambiente como educadora al aire libre, profesional de la sostenibilidad y profesora universitaria en organizaciones como Fort Lewis College, Colorado College, CU Boulder, la Escuela Nacional de Liderazgo al Aire Libre y el Instituto High Mountain. Graduada por el Colorado College, Becca obtuvo un máster en Gestión Medioambiental por la Universidad de Duke y un doctorado en Estudios Medioambientales por la CU Boulder. Su tesis doctoral analizó el papel que desempeñan las organizaciones de gestión voluntaria, como RFOV, en la gestión del territorio y la ciudadanía medioambiental. Becca se siente motivada e inspirada para trabajar directamente en el campo de la gestión comunitaria en RFOV y aplicar su experiencia previa para tener un gran impacto en su comunidad y su hogar. Cuando no está trabajando, a Becca le gusta practicar escalada, correr por la montaña o explorar la naturaleza con su hija Aven y su hijo Cedar.

Jack Douglas

Director de Programas
jdouglas@rfov.org
(él)

El deseo de Jack de preservar, proteger y mejorar el acceso a los increíbles espacios naturales y terrenos públicos de Colorado le llevó a obtener una licenciatura en Política Medioambiental por el Colorado College y un máster en Gestión de Recursos Naturales por la Universidad Estatal de Colorado. Estos mismos deseos llevaron a Jack a RFOV como coordinador de campo temporal en 2021, donde ha desempeñado diversas funciones desde entonces.

Como director de programas de RFOV, Jack está encantado de poner en práctica su formación y experiencia en recursos naturales junto con los dedicados voluntarios de RFOV, trabajando para crear una ética de gestión comunitaria basada en el lugar y un sentido de responsabilidad compartida por los sistemas naturales que sustentan y enriquecen los medios de vida y las actividades de aventura de nuestra comunidad montañesa.

Cuando no está trabajando con RFOV, Jack explora los espacios naturales que tanto le gustan esquiando, navegando y caminando, y toca y graba música con su banda Tommy the Animal.

Claire está muy emocionada por involucrar a voluntarios en proyectos grupales y de adopción de senderos esta temporada con RFOV como coordinadora del programa. Claire creció en el noroeste del Pacífico y tiene una licenciatura en Política Ambiental de la Universidad Western Washington.

Claire ha dedicado su carrera profesional a trabajar en organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro dedicadas a la conservación y la educación medioambiental. A lo largo de su carrera, Claire ha enseñado a los estudiantes sobre el salmón y el hábitat de agua dulce, ha dirigido grupos de voluntarios para investigar las mariposas en el Parque Nacional del Manú en Perú y ha impartido educación sobre cuencas hidrográficas y clima mientras vivía en su bicicleta.

Claire está ampliando sus conocimientos cursando un máster en Gestión de Recursos Naturales con especialización en Restauración Ecológica. En su tiempo libre, le encanta pasar tiempo con su perro Oso, pintar con acuarelas, jugar al fútbol, montar en bicicleta, pasear por el desierto y regar sus plantas.

Tabatha está encantada de unirse al equipo de RFOV y promover la gestión de los terrenos públicos en esta maravillosa comunidad. Criada en el sur de California y con un profundo amor por el océano, buscó las montañas y las cuatro estaciones bien diferenciadas de Colorado, donde asistió a la Universidad del Norte de Colorado.

Apasionada por el desarrollo juvenil y las actividades al aire libre, se unió al Northwest Youth Corps, donde dirigió a adolescentes y jóvenes adultos en proyectos de conservación en toda la región del noroeste del Pacífico. Firme creyente en el poder transformador de la naturaleza, está deseando volver al mundo de la conservación y colaborar con un equipo fantástico en proyectos significativos.

Cuando no está trabajando, puedes encontrar a Tabatha en un río, en un lago, en un sendero o escuchando música en directo con sus amigos.

Susana Prieto-Bravo

Youth Education Coordinator
sprietobravo@rfov.org

Susana grew up and have lived most of her life in Colombia. She studied Biology and later completed a Master’s in Plant Sciences. About eight years ago, she took a temporary job in environmental education that completely changed her path. That experience helped her realize that she didn’t just love nature; she wanted to help others fall in love with it too.

She believe plants are some of the most beautiful and perfectly designed living beings on Earth, and that sense of wonder shapes everything she does. Her purpose is to help people build a real relationship with the natural world. She is convinced that when we truly know something and feel connected to it, we are much more likely to care for and protect it. For her, environmental education is about curiosity, observation, and creating meaningful experiences outdoors, enamorarse de la naturaleza.

She first came to Colorado for a seasonal position in 2023 and fell in love with the landscape and community. That experience inspired her to return with long-term plans, and she’s excited to now call the Roaring Fork Valley home. After living her whole life in large cities, moving to a small community feels like a new adventure, and she’s excited to become part of it.

When she’s not working, you’ll probably find her hiking (one of the big reasons she moved here!), watching movies, or doing puzzles.

Anna Wright

Instructor de campo

awright@rfov.org

Anna’s love for conservation work and outdoor education stems from a childhood spent deep in the mountains of Northern Colorado scrambling up rock piles and making fairy homes. Her first jobs were on agriculture and trail crews in the NoCo area, instilling a deep affinity for community building through outdoor stewardship.

After falling in love with swinging a pulaski herself, she spent several seasons leading and coordinating youth and young adult trail crew programs in Colorado, Oregon, and Idaho. Anna has lived in the Roaring Fork valley for five winter seasons working in adaptive recreation. She sees many intersections of empowerment, leadership, and building capability in individuals through both stewardship and adaptive sports.

After a couple summer seasons off to travel, Anna is excited to join RFOV to become a more ingrained member of the communities we live and recreate in, and to get her feet back out on the trail.

Maddy Martin

Trail Crew Leader

mmartin@rfov.org

Maddy grew up in New Hampshire and came to Colorado two years ago to work as an environmental educator on the Front Range. A country bumpkin at heart, she moved into the mountains because she missed dark night skies and being surrounded by trees. Maddy got involved in trail work when she joined AmeriCorps after graduating from college. She completed her first AmeriCorps term in New Hampshire, and then wanderlust brought her to California, where she served two six-month terms on a trail crew repairing sections of the PCT and trails along the northern California coast.

Sable Laudet

Assistant Trail Crew Leader

slaudet@rfov.org

Sable grew up in the coastal woods of Washington state alongside Sasquatch, who taught Sable at a young age that it's cool to be a woodland hermit. After too many years of being cooped up inside to study and work, Sable finally upheaved its life and moved to California to pursue trail work with the CCC. Sable is a 2024 BCTP alum and has also served on Joshua Tree NP's trail crew. The love of building trails with community is what brings Sable back for another season. By fulfilling its duty to Kapwa, Sable finds purpose in promoting stewarding relationships between people and Earth.

Myles Williamson

Myles graduated from Central Michigan University in 2023 with a double major bachelor's degree in biology (focused in evolution, ecology, and conservation) and psychology. After graduating, he worked at Wedgwood Christian Services Autism Center for Child Development in Grand Rapids, MI for a little over a year. Then in March of 2025 he moved out to Grand Junction, CO to work for Western Colorado Conservation Corps, doing a variety of conservation projects and working on their backcountry Rifle trail crew in partnership with the Rifle ranger district of the US Forest Service. This season he is excited to get out into the field to build high quality trail features.

Gabby Norby

Trail Crew Member

gnorby@rfov.org

Gabby was born and raised in Colorado, earning her Bachelor of Science in Outdoor Recreation Industry Studies with a minor in Spanish and International Studies through Colorado Mesa University (CMU) in Grand Junction, CO. She has thoroughly enjoyed learning about the Spanish language and Latino culture through her studies and her time travelling to different Spanish-speaking countries. She highly values making connections with her community, bringing people outside, and making everyone feel welcome and included in outdoor spaces.

The bulk of her outdoor experience comes from working as a Trip Leader with the CMU Outdoor Program and the University of Maine, leading and co-leading, backpacking, rock climbing, backcountry skiing, canoeing, and rafting trips. Additionally, she thoroughly enjoyed her time working on the Recreation Management crew with the U.S. Forest Service, clearing trails with chainsaws, working with pack horses, and doing other trail maintenance projects. Some of her hobbies include going to the gym, making jewelry, rock climbing, riding her bike, and finding dogs to say hi to whenever possible.

Ayden Richmond
