Nicole Fordree

Nicole is originally from Buford, Georgia and recently graduated from Washington University in St. Louis with a B.A. in environmental biology and a minor in Chinese language and culture. This past summer, she worked as a biological science technician for the Forest Service traveling and camping across Eastern Washington conducting ecological monitoring. She was previously a research assistant at the WashU School of Medicine and was an interpretive intern at Zion National Park, which started her love of outdoor education. Her passion for conservation biology and ecology drove her to the TSS AmeriCorps program with the opportunity to learn more about the greater Yellowstone ecosystem and share her love for the outdoors and place-based education with others. In her free time, she enjoys any kind of outdoor activity, reading, and painting, and is in the process of learning how to ski!
