New Faces at WildLink

When the first WildLink students arrived in Yosemite this fall, they were greeted by two new faces on the WildLink team. Laura Beardsley took over as WildLink Director in late spring and is honored to be working with such an amazing network of students, teachers, schools, community partners and staff. Prior to joining WildLink, Laura spent several years in membership, development and program management with non profit organizations including the Yosemite Association in Yosemite National Park and Outward Bound in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Her past experience is uniquely suited to her position which includes fundraising, administration and oversight for the program. In August, Paul Martin, packed his car and made the move from his home town of Olympia, Washington to California to be part of WildLink. With an extensive background in youth outreach in Washington State, as Community Coordinator Paul will be working with schools and students in their home communities to help translate their expedition experiences in our National Parks to long term stewardship and leadership for local communities and the natural world. Together Paul, Laura, and Program Coordinator Cynthia Ramaciotti create an exceptional team dedicated to educating and inspiring youth from across California.
