Joy Marzolf has a B.A. in Biology. Until June of 2020, she was a Naturalist and Educator at Mass Audubon’s Broadmoor Wildlife Sanctuary for almost 14 years. There she taught numerous programs for a wide range of ages on topics including butterflies and dragonflies, reptiles and amphibians, mammals, animal tracking and photography. During that time, she was also a trip leader and naturalist on canoe trips in both Massachusetts and in NH. Since 2018, she has also been a Naturalist Trip leader for marine related trips for the Oceanic Society. One of her favorite things to do is break people’s misconceptions about animals, especially those that people fear, such as predators including sharks, reptiles and spiders.
