After receiving her B.S. in Geology and Government and Law, Emilie served as an AmeriCorps member with the Flathead Basin Commission and City of Kalispell where she became familiar with western Montana’s aquatic resource challenges. Emilie then had the opportunity to work as the Nonpoint Source Coordinator for the Flathead Basin Commission, conducting field work and supporting education and outreach programs in the watershed. As a Program Coordinator for WMCC, Emilie is eager to expand the influence of previous work and establish connections across the region to protect the area’s incredible natural resources and promote environmental justice. Emilie is currently pursuing her M.S. in Resource Conservation at the University of Montana. In her free time, Emilie enjoys hiking, knitting, and snuggling with her cats.
