Mandi joined ORF in the Spring of 2024 as a seasonal educator and restoration crew member and is currently a student at Cincinnati State pursuing a Sustainable Horticulture degree. An integral part of their childhood was playing in a nearby creek from which they learned just how important it is to teach children about nature. They are excited to be doing that with Ohio River Foundation! When they aren’t working, you are most likely to find them hanging out with their two cats and reading about plants.
