In this episode, we sit down with Becky Dunlap, a passionate park and recreation professional and advocate, to hear about how she ended up in a career in the field she loves so much without even realizing it.

Becky is a Certified Park and Recreation Professional (CPRP) and a Project Consultant for GreenPlay, LLC, where she travels to local parks and rec around the country to help them create a vision for their communities. Becky is also the host of the podcast Becky Talks Parks, which is her passion project and a vessel to share resources, tips and tools with other park and recreation professionals (hey, we love a good parks and rec podcast).

We caught up with her last week at the 2018 NRPA Annual Conference in Indianapolis to find out why she thinks parks and rec is the perfect job for millennials, the need for the field to continue to evolve in order to stay relevant, and why park and recreation professionals should be so proud of what they do!
