Cyri M. Tjaden

Program Manager

Cyri spent much of her childhood growing to love the outdoors by exploring the woods and paddling the waters of her Northern Minnesota home. After graduating with a degree in humanity & nature studies from Northland College, she began working at a small charter school in Bemidji, MN as a Special Education Paraprofessional, Outdoor Adventure Program Director and Trip Leader. Her favorite part of leading trips with Wilderness Inquiry is seeing the joy in participant's smiles as they experience the wonder of the natural world. When not leading trips, Cyri loves to spend time with family, tend to her houseplants, tackle do-it-yourself projects, and enjoy downtime with a good cup of coffee.
