Johanna Stouder just graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Animal Science and has been a member of the Purdue Equestrian Team. Growing up in South Bend, IN, she has found a way to constantly surround herself with animals—even working at the Potawatomi Zoo! After spending last summer guiding guests on horseback, Jo has taken off her boots for the winter to head up the housekeeping department. She’s hoping our guests will be cleaner than the horses.

Anita Olson is one of our all-star Housekeepers! She grew up in a small farming community known as Ericson, NE, where she helped her dad deliver calves on their ranch. Anita graduated Magna Cum Laude last May from Hastings College with a degree in biology. She spent this last summer as a forest ranger educating children on the environment in Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore Park. Anita loves traveling, learning about the environment and being around lots of animals.

Elisha Weaver grew up in California, but just graduated from Purdue University in Lafayette, Indiana as a political science major. She is a section leader in the Indiana National Guard and has served our country in Iraq. Elisha will be joining Johanna’s stellar crew of Housekeepers and looking after your needs. If you get a moment, be sure to ask Elisha about the four areas she minored in at Purdue—Russian, film, philosophy and religious studies!
