Christen Miller’s path towards becoming an interpreter began with a terrified toad. Seeing an interpretive program in a State Park, which included the toad, pushed Christen towards a life in parks.
Now, Christen is the Visitor Experience Director for Virginia State Parks.
In this episode of the Park Leaders Show, Christen talks about interpretation, living history, creating a great visitor experience, and interpreting for visitors who may not be face to face with a park ranger.
Very informative and uplifting discussion. Thanks
Thank you for listening, William.
I had so much fun with this! I never got to shout out to my team, Sammy Zambon, Patrick McFall, Kristen Uerz, and Mariya Hudick. Together we make up the Visitor Experience Section who work state wide, and there are dedicated rangers in many of our parks who are site specific.
It was such a delight to have you as a guest on the show, Christen. I look forward to having you back to go more in depth about some of the topics we discussed.
