🌞Well folks, we LUCKED OUT! Raven Hill is so happy to introduce you to Lee-Ann York Knorr - Summer Education Instructor at Raven Hill Discovery Center.
Lee-Ann started with us on June 8th and has been such a pleasure to get to know. Please stop in to say hello soon and learn more about her below.
"Lee-Ann moved to Northern Michigan from Indianapolis in 2017. Since then, she has worked remotely for the online division of a university, helping students succeed from a distance. While the work was meaningful and rewarding, it eventually left this extrovert longing for more face-to-face connection, especially with curious people who share a passion for learning and discovery.
When the opportunity arose to join the team at Raven Hill Discovery Center, Lee-Ann took a leap of faith and applied to work part time alongside Raven Hill's founder, Cheri Leach. She is currently training to facilitate programs and assist in documenting the rich history of Raven Hill, helping preserve its story and legacy for future generations.
Lee-Ann brings nearly 30 years of experience in social services and experiential learning and more than a decade in higher education and student services. As the daughter of a military family, she moved frequently throughout her childhood. Her first husband worked in the oil and gas industry, which meant many more moves as an adult. After losing him following a long illness, Lee-Ann developed a deep appreciation for life's simple gifts and meaningful connections, lessons that continue to shape her outlook today.
When she is not exploring the Discovery Center, Lee-Ann enjoys camping, hiking, biking, kayaking, attending music festivals, playing board games, spending time at the beach, and volunteering throughout the community. She is happily remarried and treasures time with her three grandchildren, with two more grandchildren expected to join the family soon." ♥
