Development Specialist

Hello! My name is Ilse. I’ve grown up in Oregon, and am graduating Spring of 2023 from the University of Oregon’s Clark Honors College with a B.A. in Global Studies and French and a minor in Food Studies. I am also a member of the Wayne Morse Scholars Program for Democracy and Politics. My background in my undergraduate work has been in food activism and agricultural movements. I’m passionate about climate justice and healing our relationship with the earth by fighting against colonialism and oppression. Some fun facts about me are that I’ve spent two years interning for a local community garden, I love playing soccer, and I speak French and Spanish.
