Sarah Noyes

Sarah (she/her) is originally from Connecticut. Her love of nature is rooted in her early childhood experiences exploring watery landscapes of the Northeast – spending as much time in, under, and around water as possible. She attended the George Washington University where she studied Environmental Studies and Fine Art. She explored different careers within the environmental field – serving as an Ocean Educator at The National Museum of Natural History, an oyster farm technician and a lab assistant studying the impacts of sea level rise on coastal communities of the Chesapeake Bay. Eager to experience new ecosystems, she went west and worked as a Naturalist and Backcountry Interpretive Guide at Walking Mountains Science Center. Following these roles, Sarah relocated to Burlington, VT where she engaged with local governments as a Flood Resilience Educator with Lake Champlain Sea Grant and The Nature Conservancy. In addition, she coached the University of Vermont’s sailing team and adaptive sailing programs on Lake Champlain. Sarah is passionate about inspiring learning, stewardship, and connection with the natural world – and is thrilled to be returning to Walking Mountains Science Center as a Foley Graduate Fellow! In her free time Sarah enjoys skiing, swimming, hiking, biking, painting, being on boats and making soup.
