Idaho AmeriCorps 2010

William Bradley Baughman ("Brad") was born in Flint, and raised in Swartz Creek, Michigan. He graduated with a BS in Biology from Alma College in Alma, MI, in 2009. While at Alma, he learned how to do science by working on his own research project on zooplankton, learned how to sing by spending 4 years in the Choir, and learned about the world by travelling internationally. Since graduation he worked for the summer on the Ant & Grasshopper Organic Farm in northern MI, and passed the winter substitute-teaching at Swartz Creek, reading, and playing the piano. He enjoys plants, animals, card-playing, learning, making music, and travelling.

Justin has been with SCA since his first internship during the summer of 2006 at Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. He followed that first position as a member of SCA's Desert Restoration Corps in the Yuha Desert and has been leading SCA crews since. This is his third summer working in Idaho with SCA and his second with SCA's Idaho AmeriCorps program. Justin is from the great state of Wisconsin.

Jackie began her service as an AmeriCorps member in the Adirondacks back in 1999. Since that time she has taken on a variety of positions with SCA varying from intern, to recruiter, to temporary cook, to crew leader, to most recently Education and Service Learning Manager with SCA's Mass Parks AmeriCorps. During that time she also spent two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guatemala, went to graduate school with the Audubon Expedition Institute, and was the first recipient of the Spirit of SCA alumni award. She is glad to once again be working for SCA and is happy revisiting her western roots.
