Born and raised in Tennessee, Kristen Davis grew up surrounded by the rich history of Civil War battles and hospitals. Her passion for history began at a young age, fueled by a deep curiosity about the resilience and ingenuity of those who came before her.

With a lifelong dedication to service, Kristen has been actively involved in the nonprofit sector since childhood. She has served on numerous boards and committees, volunteered with countless organizations, and worked as the Program Director of a national nonprofit organization, where she played a key role in advancing its mission and initiatives.

In 2021, Kristen and her family relocated to Fort Collins, Colorado, embracing a new chapter in both their personal and professional lives. She joined Poudre Landmarks in October 2024, bringing with her a unique combination of historical appreciation and extensive nonprofit leadership.

Mix a touch of Administrative Assistant, with an element of Rental Coordinator, then add a fair amount of history enthusiast - we have Jodie.

Jodie spent her early life in Australia. After a career in healthcare and nursing, she transitioned to managing a small business. Her lifelong interest in history, especially that which is tangible, has brought her to Poudre Landmarks Foundation where she enjoys the burgeoning challenge of working in the non-profit sector focusing on local historic sites. 

 

Heather Reid, Fundraising Event Coordinator

Heather's passion for historic preservation and boundless knowledge of Victorian-era glassware first brought her to The 1879 Avery House as a docent. 

As Fundraising Event Coordinator, Heather helps pull together events both large and small, finding creative ways to help the community engage with both properties beyond the normal tours and open houses.
