Meet Natasha Frolander

My name is Natasha Frolander, and I am the Vice President of U.S. Operations for Global Conservation Force (GCF). I joined the organization in 2018, bringing with me a rich background of volunteer work with animal rescues and several years working at a local zoo.

At different points, I thought I’d become a teacher, a psychologist, or a social worker. It wasn’t until I was 28 years old that I found my true calling.

Passion can lead you to places you never imagined.
