Anna works with the staff at the NCL to maintain the space, engage visitors, and foster a thriving habitat for native plants and animals. She also works on BGI's stewardship and greening projects along the greenway. Anna grew up in Brooklyn and spent many of her formative days exploring plants and insects in whatever patch of greenery she could find in her home borough. She has worked in a variety of New York City's green spaces throughout her career, from community gardens to NYC parks to botanical and school gardens. She is excited to bring her experience in horticulture, outdoor education, and public engagement to BGI.

Kristin focuses her efforts on maintaining the day-to-day management of the BID’s core services, ensuring the district’s public spaces are clean, safe, and well maintained. Kristin also works to make sure Myrtle Avenue’s 180 member businesses receive assistance by helping to navigate city government and connecting them to available resources. After receiving her M.S. in Urban Placemaking and Management, Kristin feels very fortunate to live in, and work for, the beautiful communities of Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.
