Staff Bios

Susan Denson-Guy
Susan brings a wealth of experience and energy to CMB. It isn’t uncommon to see her sitting behind her desk with a borrowed baby on her shoulder! In her time away from the museum she can be seen hauling her teenagers around town, floating the rivers with her husband, weeding the garden, or tossing a toy for the two BEST dogs in Bozeman. Of course all of the above is better when she has an icy Coke on hand!



Emily Bauska
Emily is the Program Coordinator for the Children's Museum of Bozeman. She is originally from Oregon, but moved to Montana to work as an AmeriCorps VISTA at the Children's Museum. After her VISTA service ended, Emily decided to take off her coat and stay awhile. When she's not playing in the museum, she loves to go on adventures, read good books, beat her friends at cribbage and bake pies.



Nichole Kermen
Nichole is an AmeriCorps VISTA who moved to Montana from California to work at the Children’s Museum as their Volunteer Coordinator. When she is not at the museum building wind tunnels and cardboard dragons she is most likely attempting something new, doing the robot or working on establishing a life in Bozeman. Don’t worry about her she is doing just great here 99 and ¾ percent guaranteed!



Cassie Maurer
Cassie is our newest Americorps VISTA. She is working with the Youth Interns as well as doing Community Outreach for the museum. She is originally from Olympia, WA but spent the last four years of her life on the east coast where she went to art & design school. In her free time she enjoys exploring on her bike and taking photos of the things she finds along the way.



Natalie Gilmer
Natalie is the official number cruncher of the museum. When she's not counting beans or at the abacus, she is most likely hanging out with her handsome husband, Sam, adorable two-year-old, Benjamin, and chubby Boston terrier, Bella.
