Lily Green

Lily Green has recently joined Manomet as a Science Educator and will be working with the team in our educational programming and outreach, including our ongoing work with Brockton High’s Envirothon Team and the Green Team. As an alumnus of Brockton High School, she brings her experience working in both of those groups during her own high school tenure!

Lily earned her B.S. in Chemistry at UMass Lowell in May, 2020, and a M.S. in Environmental Sciences from UMass Boston in December, 2022. Her master’s thesis revolved around creating workshops with two underserved coastal communities in Massachusetts to identify their major environmental priorities, and how both their cultural values and relationships to their land shaped those priorities.

Outside of work, Lily enjoys figure skating, country line dancing, and reading. She’s excited to be outside teaching environmental-related lessons and learning about the land surrounding Manomet’s HQ.

An entrepreneurial fundraiser, she has created educational Donor Roundtables, launched Women’s Leadership Giving initiatives, and designed Foundation Trustee luncheons.

Jeisson Zamudio

Jeisson joined Manomet’s Flyway Program in October 2023 as the Pacific South America Coordinator with the goal of supporting the implementation of the Pacific Americas Shorebird Conservation Strategy in Chile, Perú, Ecuador, and Colombia by building effective partnerships with local stakeholders and identifying linkages with national shorebird conservation plans in these countries.

Jeisson is a Colombian biologist from the Universidad del Valle who worked for more than 15 years with Asociación Calidris on various projects with shorebirds, seabirds, and endangered bird species in the Andes. During this time, he gained experience working with a wide range of stakeholders including communities, NGOs, governments, and the private sector. He has written conservation plans for threatened species and is the author of the Seabird Baseline Management Plan for Gorgona National Natural Park. He also led the design of a carbon-based project to support the implementation of conservation plans in the Andes.

Why Manomet?

I believe I can help support Manomet’s deep work: In science – to make well-informed, data-driven decisions; Towards mitigating climate change – because I believe it is the most significant threat to biodiversity; And in support of its DEIJ goals – because I believe in the value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in order to achieve lasting impacts in conservation and community well-being.

Jeanne O’Rourke

Jeanne O’Rourke is a brand marketing, communications, and creative professional with extensive experience in setting vision and strategy in venerable mission-driven Massachusetts nonprofit organizations, including the Harvard Museum of Natural History, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, Walnut Hill School for the Arts, and The Trustees of Reservations. She earned her BA in English at Tufts University and has told the stories of countless interesting and impactful individuals and institutions through video, photo, and the written and designed word. Topics have run the gamut from culture and conservation, and included subjects both large (a 42-foot long, 100 million year-old Kronosaurus) and small (bees!)

Throughout her career, she’s been lucky to work with, and learn from, talented colleagues in every professional realm, including scientists, horticulturists, and artists. When she’s not working, she’s reading on the bay side of North Truro, enjoying her family patio, or planning her next travel adventure. Jeanne recently inherited her dad’s treasured binoculars and looks forward to using them (and her professional skills) at Manomet.
