Shannon (Conner) Simpson
Executive Director

Shannon has lived here since 2006 and grew her love with the natural world through scuba diving. During grad school she did field work in Belize and fell deeper in love with the ocean and also discovered birds. She has a passion for helping people see the difference they can make for birds and the world around them. She has earned two masters degrees - MA in Biology and MS in Nonprofit Administration and is excited to lead MAS through this next chapter.

A lifelong Californian, Deb recently moved to the Monterey area from the San Francisco Bay Area and is thrilled to be in a role where she can make a meaningful impact on the Monterey ecosystem. After eleven years leading an environmental nonprofit organization, she looks forward to returning to her roots as a community and volunteer organizer. As an avid hiker, Deb is inspired to share her passion for nature with everyone through MAS. She’s eager to employ her holistic lens to conservation by connecting people to the natural world through environmental education and engagement.
