Marcelle Prescott
Office Administrator
Since 2/7/22
Marcelle Prescott serves as the Office Administrator for Waterkeeper Alliance, a role she assumed in February 2022. She handles all aspects of the main office, from troubleshooting staff technical updates and issues to making sure that the office is a warm, friendly, and loving space to work and collaborate with others.
Marcelle was born in Guyana, where she lived in Georgetown and went swimming every morning and night at the Georgetown seawall with her mother. It was part of their morning and evening ritual where her mom would share some great folklore stories of Sea Maidens, which she still holds near to her heart today. Now that Marcelle is an adult she loves to go swimming in the winter and most of all late at night. She's still looking for those Sea Maidens.
Before working at Waterkeeper Alliance, her background was based in archiving. She worked with the LGBTQ community helping them to archive their story, beginning with the riots on StoneWall. From there she went on to work with Concord Music archiving contracts from the Big Band Era.
On a personal note Marcelle loves music and old black & white movies. Marcelle lives in Brooklyn near Coney Island. When the spirit moves her she will get on the Green Line bus head out to Breezy point for that Midnight Swim.
