Our People

Andrea loves everything outdoors, be it a microscopic plant or heartwarming snowfall against a colourful sunset. She brings experience with education, research, and management to the Wildsight Kimberley/Cranbrook branch, and is excited to be working within the communities she calls home.

Sierra was born and raised in Kimberley and is proud to be involved in the community she grew up in. This summer, Sierra will be helping with the Kimberley Community Garden, the Kimberley Farmers’ Market, and the Apple Capture program.

I moved to Kimberley in the summer of 2019 with my husband, dog, and 2-year-old daughter and am here to stay. I bring 14 years of environmental and outdoor education experience on three continents, along with a deep passion for promoting nature connection and wild adventures.

With over 15 years of experience helping global NGO’s grow their brands and community connections, Courtenay is excited to impart her experience at Wildsight. She looks forward to connecting with the people and businesses of Kimberley and Cranbrook, and helping them give back and thoughtfully engage with the environment. 

Previously an urban farmer, Chad is interested in creating strong local food economies.

Kim lives in Kimberley, where she brings plenty of enthusiasm and passion for outdoor activities and connecting people with the natural world. She has a MA in Environmental Education and Communications, and a varied background in community engagement, program development, and volunteer management.
