Inspired by her childhood spent playing outside in the areas of Boulder, Colorado and Morro Bay, California, Hailey attended Cal Poly Humboldt where she studied Environmental Science and Management with a focus on Environmental Education. Since graduating in 2018, she has worked in a variety of roles in education, ecological monitoring, invasive species management, and restoration work. Hailey joined the US-LTRCD team in March of 2023 and is looking forward to learning more about the various ecosystems in our district, connecting and collaborating with community members, and restoring natural spaces. She hopes to inspire stewardship in others and protect and restore natural spaces for future generations. During her free time, Hailey enjoys hiking, watching live music around town with friends, and reading in her backyard hammock with her cats.
