Madeline got into conservation because while in Australia surfing, she realized that microplastics were surrounding her, not seaweed. This made her realize that change needs to happen now and what better way to do that then work for a local non-profit. One of Madeline’s biggest passions is bringing the community together to restore hurt ecosystems back to healthy ones and connect people back to nature.

Madeline attended Western Washington University and received her degree in Environmental Studies with minors in Geography and GIS. While not at work, Madeline is usually seen hanging out with her new adopted pup, Ocean!
