What brought you to Crag? For the past year I have been a volunteer with Bark’s Free Mt. Hood Campaign, a partner of Crag. Through the campaign’s ongoing work in forest policy advocacy, I was introduced to Crag. I was immediately drawn towards Crag’s inspiring legal work and dedication to protect the environment and communities.
What are your environmental/legal interests? Forest management policy, climate policy, environmental law, and environmental justice advocacy
What will your work focus on while at Crag? I will be highlighting Crag’s wonderful staff and current matters by writing blog posts, staff profiles, and social media content.
Favorite place to recreate or be in nature: Mt. Hood National Forest and the Columbia Gorge
Favorite book: A Tale For the Time Being by Ruth Ozeki
Favorite Quote: “I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change. I am changing the things I cannot accept.” – Angela Davis
