Emilie Hanson is excited to join the Darien Nature Center this year. A long-time educator, she relocated from New York City, where she worked for the Department of Education and at the Central Park Zoo, where she taught, wrote curriculum, and ran their theatrical outreach program. Emilie holds two Bachelor's degrees, in Education and Theater, as well as a Master's degree in Teaching the Biological Sciences. She is thrilled to bring her love of nature, children, and puppets to the Darien Nature Center. Outside of work, she is a mother of three who enjoys gardening, creating, and performing.
