Marissa Lundin comes from the Northwoods of Wisconsin, where she spent her life with the Nicolet National Forest as a back yard. Upon moving to Milwaukee to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Community Education and Engagement, she discovered a passion for volunteering at the Urban Ecology Center. For several years, Marissa participated with the Center in arts and crafts projects, land stewardship activities, and working at the receptionist desk. These experiences allowed her to work as a Volunteer and Visitor Services Intern in the summer of 2014, and has since been an interim employee at the Center, filling in for Meghan who's out on maternity leave. You can currently find Marissa at Riverside Park connecting volunteers to various opportunities at the branch. When not working with volunteers, Marissa enjoys spending time with her family up north, cooking with friends, riding her bike and dabbling on the ukulele.
