On land conservation: “The ocean, mountains, forests, fields, rivers and all the spaces between have been essential elements in my life. I have experienced the transformative affect of outdoor pursuits and seen how it changes people and offers new perspectives. Conservation creates opportunities for these impactful experiences and I want my daughter, and all people, to have access to those opportunities.”

On the job: As a member of MCHT’s Engagement Team, Ryan works to connect people to MCHT by planning and executing data analytics projects that drive fundraising. He creates data-informed strategies to refine priorities and enhance marketing and fundraising efforts, conducts research, and assists with maintaining a prospect management system to building meaningful relationships and maximize donor engagement.
