Our Staff
Program Director: Alisa McGowan
Alisa graduated from The University of Vermont with a B.S. in Environmental Science and Water Resources in 2013. Between graduating from UVM and beginning work at the ERC, Alisa worked as a naturalist in Colorado, led whitewater rafting trips on the Salmon River, backcountry ski trips throughout the mountains of Central Idaho and outdoor program trips for The Sage School and Community School.
She is most happy when she can share her love for our natural world with others. You can find her skiing powdery slopes, running Sun Valley’s iconic trails or paddling one of the gorgeous local rivers in her free time.
