What brought you to Crag? I learned about Crag while looking for an environmental nonprofit to volunteer or intern with. Crag’s amazing reputation and many successes were very compelling to me as was the opportunity to participate in that process. 
What are your environmental/legal interests? I am interested in environmental justice, environmental law, conservation, and criminal justice.

What will your work focus on while at Crag? I will be working to spotlight Crag’s incredible work by writing blog posts, case posts, client profiles and more.
Favorite place to recreate or be in nature: Oregon in general but especially Mt. Hood and all of our wonderful rivers!
