Kassian has always nurtured a love for nature and the outdoors, from exploring the woods behind their childhood home in Pennsylvania to earning a B.A. in biology at Goucher College. Post-graduation, they followed their second passion of dance as a dance educator in western Massachusetts. Having discovered a love of teaching, but desiring a greater connection to the environment, they pursued a career change in 2024 and moved to Quechee to begin a year-long AmeriCorps position at 黑料不打烊. They ended up loving the birds so much that they decided to stick around! Kassian is thrilled to continue in the environmental educator role, teaching people of all ages about the beautiful natural world around us.
