Kaitlyn DiVito - NWF EcoLeaders

I grew up in the woods and have been passionate about nature ever since I was a child. Through middle and high school this passion grew through countess science courses and internships. Now I attend Gordon College and I am the Restore Creation Intern for the school. This means I deal with everything and anything sustainability which I love!!

My Fun Side

[Edit]

My favorite planet friendly activity is:

I love taking walks in nature with my dog. I just love exploring and seeing different plant life and mosses.

One of my eco-guilty pleasures is:

I have no idea what this means.

If I were an animal, I would be:

Probably a Golden Retriever. I'm bubbly, intelligent, and loyal to no end.

My favorite wild place is:

The woods behind my house. I would stay there forever if I could.

My favorite way to get outdoors is:

Walking my sweet dog. I love going on adventures with her and seeing what new things we can find. Recently we found a beautiful state park with a river running through and old mill. It was super cool!

On a More Serious Note

[Edit]

I am driven to make a difference in the world because:

We only get one Earth and it is our job as humans to do our very best to take care of it.

The greatest skill I bring to a team is:

I am very good at anticipating people's needs. I know what needs to be done and I get it done before being asked, which is very helpful in a team setting.

My proudest moment working on community projects was:

We recently had a Garden Party Even which was a huge success. It was amazing to see people enjoying our hard work with big smiles!

If I could change one thing about my community it would be:

I would have more people be open to learning about sustainability. It seems like a lot of people think it isn't their problem, so they don't care. Keeping the Earth healthy is everybody's problem!
