On Wednesday, May 26, the LSSI staff bid a fond farewell to one of our naturalists, Roxann Vistocci, who will be moving on to a new path in life.  Roxann began her career as an LSSI naturalist in April 2008, spending over two years leading island guests on activities! In the fall, Rox will move to the Pacific Northwest, to enroll in the graduate program at Islandwood, an outdoor education facility on Bainbridge Island. There she will work with students in outdoor education, while earning a Certificate in Education, Environment, and Community, in partnership with the University of Washington.

In the meantime, she has moved back to New York City to spend some time with family. While in NYC, Roxann will continue her career path as an Urban Park Ranger with the NYC Department of Parks and Recreation.   While on LSSI, Rox took a particular interest in the reptiles and amphibians found on the island, and also helped initiate the outreach program bringing LSSI to the second graders at Goodyear Elementary School.

We wish our dear friend the best of luck in her future, and miss her already! ALL THE BEST TO YOU, ROXANN!!!
