SECOORA has hired a new Events Specialist to help us plan and prepare for events such as our Annual Meetings and other workshops. We are excited to welcome Claire McGrath to the SECOORA team!
Claire has been the Program Coordinator for the Southeast and Caribbean Disaster Resilience Partnership (SCDRP), a SECOORA Incubator Network, since May of 2024. Prior to that, Claire worked in nonprofit management for 9 years. Claire’s passion for environmental justice stems from her experience working with underserved populations and her personal commitment to protecting our natural resources. Claire served as Outreach Coordinator, Community Life Director, and Project Manager with L’Arche Jacksonville, a nonprofit that empowers and supports people with disabilities. Claire has also worked with the Student Conservation Association to provide high school students in urban areas with opportunities to gain conservation work experience, and as an adaptive kayak guide with Environmental Traveling Companions to provide people with disabilities and youth from under-resourced backgrounds with environmental education and outdoor experience. Claire earned a B.S. in Biology from Mount St. Mary’s University.
“I am excited to bring my nonprofit experience and lifelong passion for environmental justice to support SECOORA’s mission of using data to promote resilience and support communities.”
— Claire McGrath, SECOORA Events Specialist
Claire lives in Atlantic Beach, Florida with her husband and pets. She enjoys anything that gets her outdoors, especially surfing, kayaking, and hiking.
