Angie Trumbo started with International Bird Rescue as a volunteer back in 2016. She currently works as the Conservation & Education Specialist to further Bird Rescue’s goal to be a voice for birds in a changing world and engage followers through wildlife literacy campaigns and education programs. Angie is working towards a Master’s degree in Biology through Miami University’s Project Dragonfly. She gears her coursework toward promoting avian conservation by building connections between people and birds and has taken her studies to Mexico, Peru, and Costa Rica.
The Fifty and Better (FAB) program was designed for people 50+ years of age, seeking intellectual stimulation through university level courses (without the pressure of grades) for the sake of learning and social engagement.
