Ross Johnston, B.F.A.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COACH, BURLINGTON
Ross is a queer poet and storyteller doing all they can to make the world a weirder and more wonderful place! They moved to Vermont thirteen years ago to study at Champlain College, where they graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Media. After university they worked several exciting odd jobs – interviewing independent authors, chasing dogs around until they got tired, helping people get covered in tattoos, etc – before transitioning into a career in youth and non-profit program management. They spent five years with The Governor’s Institutes of Vermont, designing and coordinating educational programs for high school students all over the state. They are particularly proud of their time spent hosting a series of cat-themed webinars with local artists, legislators, mathematicians, health professionals, clowns, and everyone in between.
Sometimes a 5K is called a fun run- can confirm that much fun was had by all! ๐Ÿƒ
We're doing our best to soak up these last fall days- it was well worth the effort this hike took!
