With 14 years of proven success transforming environmental education programs, I'm a results-driven leader who combines business acumen with deep commitment to equity and inclusion. At YMCA Camp Thunderbird, I grew struggling programs by over 200% during the pandemic years, generating $1.2+ million in annual revenue while serving 156+ school groups and managing teams of up to 67 staff. As a YMCA Diversity, Inclusion & Global Ambassador with a fresh Doctorate in Environmental Studies (May 2025) focused on racial equity in residential environmental education, I bring unique expertise in creating programs that are not only financially sustainable and educationally excellent, but genuinely accessible to learners from all backgrounds. My track record spans program development, staff leadership, budget management, and organizational change, with experience ranging from intimate nature journaling classes to large-scale conference management.

My name is Baillee, I am 23 years old. I study Organizational Leadership with a focus in Education at Northern Kentucky University. I love cheering on my Norse (viking), I'm an aspiring second grade teacher. I hope to always continue my education and grow every day as a Leader.

I am a 3rd year teacher at a small community in Maine. I teach at East Grand School in Danforth with my total students being 10. We are a small school but have huge potential. I have a passion for the outdoors and want to show the same to my students. I want my coworkers to see the same importance.
