Members Spotlight

The Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania values every one of our members and the experiences they bring with them to our organization. We all do awesome work throughout the year and much of it goes unnoticed by a lot of people. Sometimes we feel we are doing a thankless job and may feel underappreciated, you are not!

Although we meet each other at PROP and other events throughout the year it’s rare if we actually have a chance to learn about each other, our experiences, and the awesome work we do on a daily basis.

The PROP Membership Committee has started spotlighting our members on a bi-monthly basis. Every two months we will spotlight 1 or 2 of PROP’s members on this webpage as well as our News Views and Opportunities newsletter.

Tell us about your PROP journey!

I joined PROP before smartphones. I became the first consultant to become a Senior Certified Recycling professional, largely through the mentorship of Joanne Shafer and so many amazing PROP members. 

What has PROP membership meant to you both personally and professionally?

PROP embodies connection.  A place to share ideas, experiences, learning and passion to be thoughtful about our resources.  Much of my work, my paychecks, are a direct result of my PROP connections - and I am grateful to every single individual who trusted me to advise them.  I have participated as a Board Member and proxy and served on a variety of committees and have presented both CEU and non-CEU PROP education seminars.  

Join PROP if you want to be part of a community that seeks to share and preserve resources rather than consume them, if you want to grow your personal and professional connections, and want to explore opportunities to invest in our planet - you will not be dissapointed. 

Describe a Fun Fact, Favorite Meal, and a Perfect Day outside of work would look like for you?

Fun Fact: I grew up on Guam and Midway Island (like Jungle Book)
Meal: Hand caught seafood
Perfect Day: My son makes me a breakfast burrito, we archery hunt together in the snow all morning, then we go fishing until dark, I make him fish tacos, and then we play FIFA by the woodstove (and I finally win for once, and he pretends he didn't let me).
