As a Minnesotan who previously worked for WisCorps, Elise O’Neill fits right in as the program logistics coordinator at VYCC. The similar weather, nice people, and an awesome group of passionate corps members are highly familiar. After graduating from UW-La Crosse in Recreation Management, Elise spent one year as an AmeriCorps nature teacher and a season as a crew member with WisCorps. Through new experiences at WisCorps, she soon discovered how capable, strong, independent, confident, and flexible she can be. Elise then spent two seasons at Elk Neck State Park as a naturalist and trail technician, before moving to Cape Cod to explore work in ecological restoration and gardening. She is thrilled to be back in the conservation corps world and to be able to assist in allowing crew members at VYCC to gain the same personal growth and skills she gained as a corps member.
