There are only 8,257 arborists in the United States* and only 7% of those are women. Only a few women are Master Arborists and Tina is in that very elite group.
A Master Arborist is someone who has met certain educational and/or experience requirements and has passed an examination administered by a professional organization such as the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Tina was elected as a Board Member of the Ohio Landscape Association in 2022 and chairs the organization’s Education Committee which helps elevate industry practices across the state. She state that she "is looking forward to giving back and working on service oriented projects in the community".
Please introduce yourself the next time you see Tina at a meeting or service project!
