As the Grants Coordinator at Ecotrust, I build and execute systems to ensure effective and efficient grants management. I monitor all grant activity and track key data points while collaborating across program teams, finance, and development to ensure on-time submissions for all deliverables. My time at Portland State University, obtaining a Master’s Certificate in Sustainability, and at Grow Portland as an Operations Intern helped confirm my passion for sustainable solutions to climate change centered around equity. Born and raised in Oregon, my connection to the Pacific Northwest spans numerous generations and has informed many of my hobbies, including frequenting local farmers markets, gardening, and spending time outdoors with my dog, Bodhi.
