Natalie Galatzer
Bio:
Natalie Galatzer hails from the suburbs of Chicago, Illinois. She graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a BS in Molecular and Cellular Biology. After creating a volunteering stream monitoring program for an Illinois non-profit, Prairie Rivers Network, and sampling freshwater mussels for the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, she decided to move west. In October 2006 Natalie landed in Marin County and started her first WSP term at the Salmon Protection and Watershed Network (SPAWN), splitting her time between studying migrating salmon and leading volunteers in watershed restorations. She's thrilled to be starting her second year with WSP at the Institute for Fisheries Resources (IFR) and is looking forward to seeing different interest groups interact to manage fisheries. She loves living in the city and riding her bike to work. Her rent may be high, but her commute is free!

Harmony Gugino
Bio:
Hi, my name is Harmony Lucille Gugino. I was born and raised in and around a majestic land, whispered only in ancient lore……….. Buffalo, NY. I attended community college and took time off, just working and increasing my “customer service skills”, before going to Buffalo State College, where I received a B.S. in Urban and Regional Planning and a minor in Creative Studies. My traveling companion, a runaway prairie dog from the zoo, and I came to California in June 2007 to pursue our loves of saltwater taffy and the environment. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of AmeriCorps-WSP since I arrived. My first opportunity was with the California DFG in Ft. Bragg, and I am now fortunate enough to be a part of IFR. These opportunities have truly been evidence to me that paths are traveled and doors are opened, not solely by the toolbox you carry (i.e. education, experiences, socio-economic circumstances, etc.), but also by the sign you attach to it that says “Willing to Work for Tools”, as you smile enthusiastically.
P.S. Last I heard Prairie Dog was running with a “bohemian” crowd of former accountants who have devised a way to count the California Monarch butterfly population by smell. Look for his published work soon in a scientific journal near you.
