Volunteer Spotlight: Suchitra Nunekoppula
We'd like to welcome one of our newest Five Rivers MetroParks volunteers, Suchitra Nunekoppula, "Suchi"!
We met Suchi when she attended a Get Connected Help session, where she worked one on one with a volunteer coordinator to create an account and complete her qualifications and background check. She was then given an overview of how to navigate the site, find volunteer opportunities that meet her interest and availability and sign up for shifts.
Suchi became interested in becoming a Five Rivers MetroParks volunteer because she has a deep love of nature and enjoys visiting Cox Arboretum. She and her family moved here from India, where she earned a Ph.D. in Environment Science. She researched growing techniques and is looking forward to learning the methods the horticulture staff use at Cox. When asked if there was anything she'd like to share about herself, Suchi said, "I am so happy and thankful to finally have this opportunity and look forward to future involvement in related horticulture work and tree corps."
Thank you, Suchi for supporting Five Rivers MetroParks!
