Our Peeps: Lucy Murayda

Our Peeps: Lucy Murayda

Lucy’s admiration for nature began when she was just a little girl in Watford, England exploring the English countryside with her father and two dogs. When she emigrated to the US with her family, she found herself in the beautiful state of New Hampshire exploring and hiking the White Mountains and marveling at all of the wildlife in this magnificent state. Through her pursuit of hiking the 48 4,000-foot mountains of NH, she was drawn closely to nature and knew she had to be more involved, especially with wildlife.

Lucy has a passion for people and animals and is fascinated by the science behind living things. She pursued a psychology degree at Southern New Hampshire University and spent most of her career in the hospitality industry, in addition to being a dedicated volunteer at NH Audubon for the last two years. Through her volunteering experiences in the pollinator gardens and animal care, she knew she wanted to continue to grow and expand at the Audubon and was inspired by the resident animal ambassadors to become a recent addition to our team as an Education Assistant.

Lucy also has tremendous experience advocating for people with disabilities in education and was vice president of the NH Parents of Blind Children from 2012 to 2014. Given her previous work in advocacy and teaching, she is incredibly excited to teach others about NH wildlife and the conservation of our natural world.
