My name is Tess Conway and I am a Chicago native and environmentalist. I recently graduated from DePaul University with a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Studies. I currently work for REI's local outdoor programs as a full time instructor and admin. I previously worked for the Chicago Park District's Under Illinois Skies program as an Environmental Educator. I am incredibly interested in working for Friends of the Parks!
