BIO

ABOUT ELEANOR

As an Army brat, I moved nearly every year for the first 12 years of my life. I learned to meet people, make friends, and got to redecorate my room! (Hmm, my first environment design…) I also developed a love of travel, adventure and discovery. Living overseas, I learned that the U.S. is not the only country on the planet, and that there are other ways of speaking, getting around and doing everyday things.

I learned a new language and gained respect for my home as well as other countries. I believe these early experiences shaped me in important ways, introducing acceptance, flexibility, and perseverance.

Being raised in a Southern household regardless of our physical location, I learned courtesy and diplomacy, both of which have served me well in my chosen professions. As you read through my experience and qualifications, I hope this background will lend some color and dimension to the lists and dates.

I hope I get to meet you soon!

HOBBIES

INTERESTS

My interests are varied and broad. I'm an avid out-of-doors person, you can often find me running a marathon or hiking the Appalachian Trail near my home in the Shenandoah mountains. When not running afoul of black bear I can be found hiding behind the long lens of my Nikon snapping shots of elusive scarlet tanager in my front yard or eagle at Blackwater Wildlife Refuge, or kayaking on the Tred Avon River.

I'm a voracious reader, with an appetite for the latest trends on environmental sustainability, conservation, conference planning and more! SO much to read, so little time....
