Hi! I'm Clara. I'm a student at Western Washington University studying Environmental Studies and Disaster Risk Reduction, with a focus on sustainability, climate resilience, and environmental protection. I’ve had the chance to gain hands-on experience as a wildland firefighter and a trail crew member, where I’ve learned valuable skills in managing natural landscapes, working in tough conditions, and responding to environmental challenges.I’ve also got a solid foundation in journalism, which helps me turn complex environmental issues into stories that people can actually connect with. Add in some hands-on experience with GIS and digital content creation, and I’m all about blending tech, media, and communication to make an impact.I'm on the lookout for summer opportunities and post-grad gigs that combine my passion for the environment with my skills in communication, GIS, and disaster management. Let's connect!
