Missy has a deep love for natural spaces and feels most at home
walking in the woods and spending time among the trees. She began
her involvement with ALT as a volunteer, helping with trash cleanups.
After attending several events and getting to know the organization,
she joined the Stewardship Committee and later served as a board
member from 2015 through 2024. During her tenure, Missy
participated on the Events, Nominating, and Development
Committees.
Outside of her time wandering the forest and supporting ALT, Missy
lives in Auburn with her husband, Dana Staples. She enjoys caring for
her health, spending time with family and friends, and getting lost in a
good book. As a licensed athletic trainer and health coach, Missy is
passionate about helping people build simple, sustainable habits that
support healthy, fulfilling lives.
