Our Team

Michelle St. Angelo

President

Michelle St.Angelo is a communications professional, creative writer, environmental advocate, and yoga instructor living in sunny Las Vegas, NV. A native New Yorker and natural-born seeker, Michelle came to the desert in 2004 on a journey to create opportunity in her career and in her life. She worked for 20 years in public relations for some of the area’s most prestigious agencies, handling a multi-million dollar book of business which included the world’s top companies in hospitality and tourism such as Disney Parks, Amazon Treasure Trucks, AEG Live, The Venetian Resort, Station Casinos, Nevada Ballet Theatre, Life is Beautiful Festival, Wolfgang Puck Fine Dining Group and many more. After volunteering for two years as chair of the Cottonwood Springs Water Stewards (a committee of Save Red Rock) and serving as the nonprofit’s director of communications, Michelle now leads the organization’s staff in the role of President — working to promote its conservation, advocacy, recreational and educational programs.

Erik Klausen

Member-At-Large

Born and raised in the midwest, Erik fled the flatlands in 2005 for a job guiding mountain bike tours and has been a desert rat since. He has a day job working in public safety, a night job wrangling two kids who still can’t tie their shoes, and a side gig attempting to fix his house. If he’s not doing one of those things, you can find him under one of his project vehicles, flying over the bars of his bike or staring at a campfire in an empty canyon.

Jarrett L. Clark

Member-At-Large

Raised with the values of environmental stewardship on his family’s farm in Arkansas, Jarrett Clark has worked in the conservation movement for more than a decade and is proud to call sunny Southern Nevada home. He is an accomplished communications consultant with extensive experience in community outreach, digital strategy, and issue advocacy having led campaigns to expand clean energy usage, create the Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation, and renew Nevada’s conservation bonds program. Outside the office, Jarrett is an avid gardener, hiker, and proud cat dad.

Emily Nelson

Grant Specialist

Emily is a recent college graduate with an affinity for art, design, and outdoor spaces. She finds joy in lending her digital marketing talents to small businesses that positively impact their communities. Save Red Rock was the first organization to catch her eye after moving to Las Vegas from Hawai’i. She’s excited to bring her fresh perspective to Save Red Rock and help however she can.

Anne Davis

Operations Director

Save Red Rock would be nothing without community support – and Anne exemplifies that. After hearing passionate testimony by Save Red Rock at a county meeting in 2016, she offered her support to build Save Red Rock’s website. She has been a vital team member ever since. Anne is a former professional dancer and current graphic designer. Her favorite hike is Angel’s Landing at Zion, because it helped her conquer her fear of heights.
