Assuming the director’s role in November 2021, Boyd and her dedicated staff connect communities by providing enriching experiences for all that inspire healthy living, social engagement, and a love of nature. Boyd previously worked as executive director of Groundwork Indy, a non-profit organization that employs youth to work on community-based projects that equitably enhance environmental, economic, and social well-being. Before joining Groundwork Indy, she practiced landscape architecture and urban planning in the for-profit sector, where her work focused on sustainable design and planning, and supporting efforts of diverse communities to transform their built environments into meaningful, relevant, and life-enhancing places. Boyd holds a Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Indiana University in Bloomington and is a two-time alumna of The University of Texas at Austin, where she received her Master of Arts in Botany in 1997 and her Master of Landscape Architecture in 2006.
