It’s true that we sometimes don’t know what is in our own backyard. Jessica didn’t know Carnwath existed until the summer of 2022, and she instantly fell in love. After learning more about the park she started to attend Friends of Carnwath meetings and quickly got involved. Jessica is a lover of nature, people, and culture and is a Wappingers Falls resident. She has worked in many industries including finance, textiles, and non-profits and is a master of making order from chaos. She graduated from Union College in 2012 and is a Long Island native. Most recently she started working with Dutchess Tourism. In her free time she enjoys growing food, learning how to live sustainably, and finding joy in the small things.
