Storytellers
Jane Sueme: Jane has held a variety of jobs, including owning a small publishing business and now a beekeeping supply business - something she developed from a passion/hobby of keeping honey bees. She has earned master-level certification from the University of Montana and Cornell University yet finds the most fulfillment in her chosen profession rooted in some early childhood challenges.
Chris Geden: Whether for work or personal, Chris loves being on the water, and the beautiful way adventure and peace can combine into one experience.
Katie Houck: Katie serves as the Executive Director of Urban Harvest STL, an urban farming non-profit committed to building a community around inclusive and resilient local food systems. Urban Harvest STL manages 6 urban farms located in the City of St. Louis. Annually, they grow over 6000 pounds of organic produce, donating at least 80% of the harvest to food assistance programs across the city. While her early years were spent in the cornfields and cow pastures of central Illinois, Urban Harvest STL is Katie’s first real experience with farming. Katie is passionate about improving food access and building sustainable and equitable food systems. She is a passionate cook and an avid (albeit aspirant) gardener.
Elizabeth Simmons: Since moving to St. Louis two decades ago, Elizabeth Simons has travelled all over the region to get an up-close and personal look at our interconnected rivers, streams, forests, reconstructed prairies, and wetland habitats as well as the people, plants, and animals who call these places home. She has worked for Great Rivers Greenway for over a decade to help build a regional network of greenways that provides every St. Louisan with an opportunity to enjoy living more of our lives outside. You can often find Elizabeth in local parks walking with her loving partner and poorly behaved dog.
