In Their Own Words
My passions:
I’m passionate about social and environmental justice – and about being a lifelong learner, which is why I’m grateful to be in this inspiring setting, among people who are untiring in their efforts to contribute to ecological restoration and positive social movement, and to embrace and elevate historically marginalized groups in meaningful partnerships.
My work at OAEC:
I manage OAEC’s donation program and support the pursuit and management of grant funding and overall programmatic and general activities that ensure the functioning and success of our facilities, our work, and our partnerships.
Why my work matters:
Our global predicament demands action. OAEC has worked tirelessly, hand-in-hand with affected communities to develop practical solutions to social and climate-related issues, and with public resource agencies to achieve progressive policy change. I continually marvel at this team’s knowledge, sophistication, agility, and innovation mindset.
