I’m eager to join MEIC’s team as Land and Water Policy Advocate. In this role, I advocate for sustainable land use practices, protection of water resources, and environmentally conscious and economically equitable communities.
I spent the past eight years at Northern Plains Resource Council. I served as Community Organizer for Northern Plains’ affiliate group in Billings where I supported its members establishing the City of Billings Energy and Conservation Commission and launching the first Solarize Billings campaign. I also worked for six of those years with Northern Plains’ ranching members to fight for competitive livestock policy at the state and federal level.
In 2022, I relocated to Helena to lead the legislative and government affairs program for the organization while also organizing their Gardiner affiliate group and Northern Plains’ democracy work. I fell in love with lobbying and all things Montana legislature, and worked with Northern Plains members on some key wins like defeating harmful constitutional amendments and passing the Montana Solar Shares Act through both chambers.
I spend my free time antiquing and frequenting estate sales, gardening, and enjoying Helena’s downtown with my husband and young daughter.
