My name is Jenyn, and I'm a NC State Park Ranger at Yellow Mountain State Natural Area. I grew up in the foothills of WNC in a small town called Lenoir. After college, I moved to the Pacific Northwest in Washington for several years where I worked in various education and admin roles at Pacific Science Center. Part of that phase of my career was working as a naturalist in an urban park featuring a wetland and delightful waterway, the Mercer Slough. My husband and I moved back out to Burke county at the end of 2021 where we now have an aspiring homestead with 2 German Shepherds, 4 barn cats, 9 chickens, an ever increasing population of domestic rabbits...and a former PacSci celebrity corn snake.

I am a student at the University of Colorado Boulder with a strong passion for the environment and wildlife. Growing up in Colorado allowed me to explore the state’s diverse landscapes firsthand, sparking my interest in conservation and inspiring me to take environmental education courses. Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep commitment to understanding environmental issues and contributing to solutions that support both ecosystems and communities.
