Fascinated by wilderness and ecology since growing up backpacking in the Sierras, Jeanne enjoyed a diverse environmental career over the last 30+ years.  With a Bachelor’s in Biology (Carleton College) and a Master’s in Geology (Oregon State University), she pursued multiple aspects of environmental protection.  During the last several decades, Jeanne focused on wildlife and habitat conservation, working for The Nature Conservancy, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and the US National Park Service, where she was responsible for a variety of programs, including science, conservation, government relations, and water policy.  Most recently, she headed the Science and Resource Management Division for Grand Canyon National Park.  In her free time, Jeanne enjoys hiking, scuba diving, Tucson’s diverse music scene, and exploring Arizona’s spectacular landscapes.
