As Operations and Data Management Administrator, Frances (Frany) will provide administrative support to project staff and oversee the contract process involved in all of Great River Greening's projects. She will also help manage Greening's ArcGIS database, and is excited to work with each team to create functional maps to use in the field and to share on GRG's website.

Frany comes to Greening with over three years of experience in urban and community forestry, including two years of Americorps service. She holds a BA in Environmental Studies from Gustavus Adolphus College, as well as minors in Sociology and Anthropology.

Outside of work, Frany enjoys spending as much time outside as possible, including hiking, biking, or just going for walks around the neighborhood. When she's not outside, she enjoys cooking, pottery, and playing cribbage!
