Born and raised in Southwest Florida, Halle always felt a deep connection with the outdoors through angling, diving, and hiking. After graduating from Florida State University in 2018, Halle spent the next 5 years garnering experience in Florida’s conservation space. She laid the groundwork to revitalize the Florida Trail Association’s Gateway Community Program, where she created and fostered partnerships with communities and local businesses along the Florida National Scenic Trail. She then went on to work for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, where she garnered experience with the agency’s permitting program and Audubon Florida, where she led key projects and grew Florida’s base of climate advocates. For Halle, Live Wildly means encouraging others to immerse themselves in Florida’s unique landscapes and welcoming new opportunities with open arms.
