Maggie served for two years as a WCC member before switching to supervisor. She graduated from Whitman college with a degree in biology. She’s always enjoyed working outdoors, and gravitated naturally to a more field based role in restoration. She enjoys hiking, singing, bouldering, and getting to know new people through her job.

I'm originally from Utah and graduated from Utah State with a degree in Natural Resources. I've always loved being and working outside. I've worked for the Utah Conservation Corps as well as multiple trail organization. My hobbies are hiking, mountain biking, and paddle boarding. I'm looking forward to learning more about Washington and the important conservation work being done.

Cathy has been fascinated with biology ever since reading a picture book about the deep sea submersible Alvin at around 5 years old. The desire to engage in conservation stemmed from that passion as a need to protect the ecosystems that could fill her with such wonder. She graduated from Seattle University with a B.S. in Marine and Conservation biology and a Minor in Film Studies, hoping to bring awareness to conservation issues. Cathy enjoys collecting and analyzing data, getting hands on with native organisms, and the satisfaction of knowing her work is making a difference.

In her free time, Cathy enjoys reading fantasy books and comics, playing dungeons and dragons, and volunteering as a science teacher at her local elementary school.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington where I majored in Environmental Studies. I am most passionate about expanding urban forestry practice and green space in cities, and conducted a policy project on this topic with The Nature Conservancy for my senior capstone project. At WCC, I hope that I can gain a better understanding of Washington’s native species and the important role they serve for the Snohomish community. Outside of conservation work, some of my hobbies include exploring Seattle’s parks, hiking, and going on weekend camping trips with friends. I am looking forward to all we will accomplish with SCD this year!

I am from Arlington, so working in Snohomish county feels right at home for me. This is my second term on a WCC restoration crew. I served on the Tulalip Tribe’s restoration crew last season. I have interest in a career of wildlife ecology and conservation for Washington state. My hobbies include wildlife spotting, reading and building with Legos.
