Meet Diane Young, the new administrative and program assistant in the Harrisburg office.
By Diane Young
I recently moved back to the beautiful state of Pennsylvania after living out of state for several years, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to be here and to be part of the great team at PACD! While I’ve provided support in many different industries, I’m thrilled to embark on this adventure in a new area: Conservation!
I have two wonderful children and five beautiful grandchildren (who I don’t get to see often enough!). When I’m not working or making improvements on my 96-year-old home, I love to read and spend time outdoors in God’s beautiful Creation.
Cassie Daniels graduated from Clarion University in 2018 with a double major in Environmental Geosciences and Geology and a minor in Geography. Having experiences with the Student Conservation Association and the Army Corps of Engineers, she knew she wanted to combine both conservation and engineering aspects to her career. So, PACD is the perfect fit.
Cassie enjoys anything outdoors, especially hunting, fishing, ice fishing, camping, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.
Cassie can be reached at cdaniels@pacd.org.
