Carrie, what prompted you to join the Healthy Acadia team?

I have been reading Healthy Acadia’s newsletter for three years and really enjoyed following the work of the staff. I also felt that the vision, mission, and goals of this organization were things I had a passion for. In turn, I decided I that would apply to become part of that team.

What inspires you most about Healthy Acadia's work?

Healthy Acadia promotes the well being of all, which very much aligns with my mindset.

What inspires you on a personal level?

A purpose I believe in, that is for the good of the people in my community.

What is your favorite thing to do, or place to be, in Maine, and why?

I thoroughly enjoy hiking and hunting in the Maine woods. Preferably in eastern and northern Maine!
