Olivia Triltsch Joins MUCC as New Habitat Program and Partnerships Coordinator
Hello,
My name is Olivia Triltsch and I am the new Habitat Program and Partnerships Coordinator at Michigan United Conservation Clubs.
I grew up in a family who thrived outdoors which sprouted my own interests in natural resources. In childhood, I was introduced to hunting and angling alongside my older brothers and fell in love with outdoor recreation. Typically, I enjoy hunting white-tail deer and waterfowl in the fall and fishing in the summer and winter months. My favorite outdoor hobbies include hunting, fishing, kayaking, hiking, camping, rock hounding, foraging, and experimenting with new wild recipes. Fortunately, I have been able to travel to various national parks and forests which I hope to continue exploring. When not at work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, reading, playing board games, and traveling.
I graduated from Michigan State University in 2023 with a B.S. in Fisheries and Wildlife with a concentration in fish and wildlife disease ecology and management. Additionally, I earned a B.S. in Zoology with a concentration in animal behavior and neurobiology. Furthermore, I hold two minors in Environmental Sustainability Studies and Leadership in Integrated Learning. Before MUCC, I worked professionally in nuisance wildlife management as well as various seasonal jobs surrounding wildlife including with nature centers and the Michigan DNR creating habitat.
In short, I am excited to be a part of MUCC’s team and utilize my previous education and outdoor experiences to improve the program. As the coordinator, I will coordinate On the Ground projects to interact with volunteers and create hands-on experiences. I hope to work with many of you at events in the future and improve wildlife habitat.
