She spent childhood summers immersed in the woods and waters of Rangeley, inspired by nature documentaries and dreaming of a future spent protecting animals. Today, she channels that dream into action—promising to pour her heart and soul into building a place that honors the wild in all of us.
Michelle Perlette, Board Treasurer
Originally from Maine, Michelle is a summer resident of Rangeley and makes her year-round home in West Palm Beach, Florida. She brings 38 years of experience in the animal health industry and currently serves as the Executive Director of M&A Integrations for Momentum Youth Brands.
Throughout her career, Michelle has led teams, driven operational growth, and guided complex business transitions. Her deep-rooted love for animals and connection to the Rangeley community made joining the Rangeley Wild Board of Directors a meaningful opportunity. She is excited to help build a strong foundation for the organization and support its mission to rescue, rehabilitate, and protect the wild animals of the region.
Amy Fitzherbert, Board Director
Amy’s love for Maine runs deep. Growing up in Sidney, she spent her summers roaming the forests around her family’s camp on Chase Stream Pond, where her passion for nature first took root. When the camp was sold, she found herself drawn to the rugged beauty of Maine’s western mountains, eventually settling in Rangeley in 2014.
With a degree in Fisheries Biology & Management and Environmental Analysis from Unity College, Amy has built a well-rounded career in environmental science, GIS, and regulatory compliance. She’s tackled everything from environmental reporting and waste characterization to water quality monitoring, even serving as a field and technical liaison during a major Maine river study. Her expertise in state and federal environmental regulations has helped guide successful compliance projects, and now, she’s excited to bring her knowledge—and her love of wildlife—to Rangeley Wild.
