Friends’ Kristen Maize to leave
Kristen Maize, program manager for the Friends of the Virgin Islands National Park since 2005, will leave the nonprofit at the end of September. Kristen says she wants to see a bit of the world while she is still young, and she has a big adventure planned this fall to do just that.
But Kristen, a popular St. John artist as well, says she has a lot of painting to do before leaving the island in November. She’ll be gone for awhile, but has every intention of coming back to St. John after her travels.
Taking Kristen’s job as program manager will be St. John native Audrey Penn, an anthropology major who served as the Friends’ summer intern after graduating from Rollins College in Florida. Audrey currently works at Concordia and will start transitioning into her new role at Friends in early September.
We’ll talk more with Audrey once she gets settled, but read our quick Q&A with Kristen, here!

We’ll miss Kristen and all of her good work for Friends.
We hope you have a great trip!

Best of Luck Audrey! Good to see a St. John native in that position.
Good luck to Kristen too on her new adventure.
