Fiscal Affairs Coordinator

Ana has been working with SRSC since Fall 2020. She has adored plants her entire life and over the past 2 decades has fully dedicated her career to them wherever she ends up residing.
She is originally from Ohio and went to Kent State University for her Bachelor's Degree in Conservation Biology. Though her heart is, at its core, in Ohio, she has adored getting to know the native plants of Idaho since moving here in 2016.
With the rest of her time, she is a mama to her daughter Lupine and dogs Speckle & Rupert, an enthusiastic baker/home chef and is currently doing an enormous amount of watercolor painting. Keep an eye out her for watercolors in our social media!

General Manager (aka CEO) / Education & Outreach Coordinator

Casey co-founded SRSC in 2014 as a seed of hope for a better way of feeding ourselves and doing business. She is thrilled to be working for the Co-op once again in a capacity that allows her to combine her passion for education & sharing the wonders of seeds with the community with her love of mucking around inside beautiful, squirrelly projects for which there isn't a blueprint. Dreaming & scheming with a community of curious, wicked-smart, deeply caring people is at the top of her list of life loves, just below apprenticing herself to the complex wonders of the natural world and basking in their intrigue...so she feels incredibly lucky to have landed here. 

Casey is a Cultivating Success Farmer Mentor and holds a Standard Occupational Specialist Certificate for horticulture education in Idaho, as well as a Masters of Natural Resources in Environmental Education and Science Communication. She is also a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide, and a lover of moss.
