As the Outdoor Education Nurse, JoAn brings many years of varied nursing experience to the team. JoAn graduated from WVU with her Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. She was a Girl Scout as a youth and has volunteered over the years in Cub and Boy Scout camping programs. With a love of nature and the outdoors, JoAn strongly believes that youth being present in nature and participating in an outdoor learning environment provides multiple benefits for them academically, and improves their physical and mental health. In her spare time, JoAn enjoys spending time with her three sons, tending her perennial butterfly garden, bird watching, genealogy researching, and reading while sitting with her two dogs.
