Adrienne St. Vincent
Native to Delta County, my upbringing has always led me outdoors. My current role as Office Coordinator with the Michigan State University Forestry Innovation Center has allowed me to utilize my skills in administrating grants, reporting financials, developing and following budgets based on federal guidelines, and maintaining compliance and confidential documents. Within this role, I am also responsible for assisting supervisory personnel in creating and conserving performance management information. Occasionally, I get the opportunity to help with outdoor research projects, which has helped me understand the station's function. Previous endeavors have allowed me to gain valuable HR specialty knowledge, management, and recruiting skills. With an abundance of outdoor interests, which include spending time on the water, fishing, and golfing, a central passion, over the past 15 years, has been instructing various fitness classes at the YMCA. When elected, I will promote positive change and serve our community on the Delta Conservation District board, utilizing my professional skills to benefit all. |
