Priscilla is passionate about learning and the environment. She spent her K-8th grade years living across the street from a Cook County, IL forest preserve. A river ran through it - the Des Plaines river. That place was her playground, her discovery zone, her best friend. Later, as a mom raising 4 kids, she would retreat to her neighborhood prairie for quiet sanctuary. She says she knows that the outdoors is vital to her well-being, and its health and protection is critical for everyone on the planet.

Priscilla currently works part-time for Cedar Lakes Conservation Foundation, a land trust that has protected more than 2400 acres in the towns of West Bend and Polk. She has also worked for Old World Wisconsin and Discovery World and volunteered at Wehr Nature Center. Prior to living in Wisconsin, she was a substitute teacher and the Operations Supervisor and a teacher with a children’s theater company. She was a Girl Scout for 12 years and a Girl Scout leader for three years.
She loves being with kids and sharing their enthusiasm, wonder and playfulness. She says, "The first time I stepped into the Riveredge Nature Center, I felt at home. It is a place of exploration and appreciation focused on respect for the natural world. I am rewarded each day I spend here with the joy of seeing kids engaged in truly loving this Earth. I am so grateful for that gift!"
