Board of Directors
Our board of directors are all CUAA members that volunteer their time to run the day to day operations of our non-profit organization. We hold a virtual meeting quarterly to discuss business, vote on current initiatives and continue our mission to support Natural Resource students at HSU.

Kristen Burgess
I graduated from the HSU Wildlife Program in 2017. I’ve worked in environmental consulting as well as international research. I’m currently on a year’s long travel adventure through the western part of North America with my little family. My hobbies include mountain biking, backpacking, kayaking, camping, birding, identifying plants and mushrooms, cooking, and relaxing in nature with my dog. I grew up joining hunting trips with my grandfather, but my time spent at HSU solidified my love for nature and science in tandem. CUAA helped fund my first professional conference and that experience has helped me grow as a young professional. I look forward to working with CUAA to help bridge the gap between HSU natural resources professionals and students. Megan McCormick
I graduated from HSU with a BS in Biology in 2018. I have worked in the environmental consulting industry on and off since 2011 while getting my degree. After graduating, I moved to Bakersfield CA, to begin my career as a wildlife biologist at McCormick Biological, Inc. Many summers have been spent surveying for the endangered and state fully protected blunt-nosed leopard lizard and I specialize in the wildlife species of the Southern San Joaquin Valley. My hobbies include birding, backpacking, mushroom hunting (when I visit Humboldt), camping, attending concerts and sporting events, and jumping on my trampoline! I learned about CUAA at the first wildlife conference I attended and joined the board that day. I love that CUAA helps the next generation of wildlife professionals and I am excited to be a part of it! |
