Railey was raised near Santa Claus, Indiana where she developed a love for all things nature. After moving to St. Louis in 2019, Railey found a deepened appreciation for native plants and ecosystems. As the first CVA at the Ulysses S. Grant National Historic Site, Railey aims to strengthen park bonds with the community through outreach, continue to expand upon the park’s VIP program, and further enhance her interpretation and leadership skills. In Railey's spare time, she enjoys hiking, reading, and snuggling with her two cats, Chansey and Mucca.
