Natalie Mudd is the National Community Volunteer Ambassador Leader (CVAL) for the February 2023 CVA Cohort. She is serving out of Miami, FL where she formerly served as the CVA at Everglades National Park. She is excited to branch out of Everglades now after working within the park for almost 2 years. She’s a graduate from Bowling Green State University and she has gained many field experiences within the Everglades utilizing her Marine Ecology degree. She now looks forward to her new position and learning how to implement programming, training activities, and assisting the VIP program from a new office. She plans to be a volunteer herself in national parks near her to utilize her skills in art, SCUBA diving, interpretation, and passion for ecology to learn new things and to make a positive impact in the world around her.
