Meet the Staff
AUGUST VANDIVER Title: Outdoor Recreation Specialist Fun Fact: Water sports are my favorite and I love kayaking and wakeboarding. I also competed on the crew team and sail team for Texas A&M during college. Why I Serve: The outdoors brings a great sense of connection--connection to nature, to people, to our past and to our future. I love to help people connect with nature in new and fun ways, that in turn, connect them with lasting experiences. My goal is to help people find a passion for the outdoors, either through recreational or educational activities, that encourages them to leave nature a better place than it was before.
CULLEN ONDRACEK Title: Natural Resources Manager Fun Fact: I love to spend my free time with my family in the outdoors. Why I Serve: I serve Pearland to better conserve our natural environments and to ensure nature has a place in an ever- growing community.
KATIE BOUGHAL A.K.A. EDU-KATIE Title: Park Naturalist Fun Fact: I have survived being bitten by a bear . . . a baby bear. Why I Serve: As park naturalist, I am able to serve Pearland as an environmental educator. I love to create environments for all people to have experiences to acquire knowledge. When I am not educating about the environment, I serve as a member of the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Task Force to ensure that all programs provided by the Pearland Parks & Recreation department are diverse, equitable and inclusive to all.
