What brought you to Crag? I learned about Crag through a high school project and connected with their commitment to legally aid the environment and make lasting changes in our communities. When I learned that I could assist the Crag communications team with their amazing work of outreach it was an easy choice of a summer position!

What are your environmental/legal interests? I am interested in environmental and ecological preservation and future climate change prevention

What will your work focus on while at Crag? I am working with the communications team in outreach and website/social media design.

Favorite place to recreate or be in nature: Anywhere in the Columbia River Gorge where I can go on a nice walk with my dog!
