Buffy Redsecker
Buffy is the President and Co-Founder of the SunLight Time Foundation and a proud member of the Pleiades Network: a constellation of women working for a sustainable world.
She spent over a decade deeply involved with the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador and still consults for organizations there. Buffy grew up on an estuary off the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland and has spent much of her adult life diving and snorkeling the waters off the lower Florida Keys.
She was a field producer and natural history guide for a story in the National Geographic Magazine on the Goliath Grouper. Buffy collaborated on the harp seal segment, of a National Geographic story on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and used her field experience, and local knowledge to scout a story for the magazine on Sargassum. She is actively involved with the Environmental Voter's Project to motivate those who care about the planet to vote in the USA.
Buffy holds an M.F.A. in Dramatic Writing from Humboldt State University and a B.A. in Ancient Military History from the University of Maryland, College Park. After many years volunteering in cat behavior at the SFSPCA she put her unusual skills to work after Hurricane Katrina and continues to help solve human/cat communication issues.
Buffy is grateful she studied photography with Galen Rowell and his wife Barbara. She is an avid SCUBA diver, explorer and traveler. She, her husband and their two (indoor only) cats divide their time between New York City and the Lower Florida Keys.
