Lisa Winters is a native Michigander who made her leap west in 2011 to pursue a M.S. in aquatic ecology at Utah State University. She then moved down to Flagstaff to work as a Colorado River fish biologist in the Grand Canyon, where she discovered the beauty of the desert as well as her love for ponderosa pines. She is particularly passionate about making scientific research more accessible to the public. As the citizen science manager, she looks forward to creating stewards and advocates for the unique landscapes, water, and wildlife of the Colorado Plateau.
