Hello! I’m thrilled to be joining the team as MEIC’s Climate and Campaigns Organizer. My roots in Montana cultivated a profound experiential bond with the natural world, shaping me into the environmental steward I am today. My personal journey has highlighted the pressing need to address the climate crisis, emphasizing the importance of collective action for positive change.
I earned my BS in Natural Resource Conservation and a minor in Climate Change Studies from the University of Montana. Post-graduation, I ventured along the west coast, engaging in teaching, research, and skiing. Following a rewarding year teaching science in Hong Kong, I felt a calling to further my education, leading me to recently complete my MS in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana. I am genuinely grateful for the opportunity to contribute to MEIC’s remarkable efforts in safeguarding the landscapes that bring me immense joy. In my free time, you’ll find me frolicking in the mountains with my partner and dog.
