Meet the Participants 2017: Holly

We are excited to have Holly join us for the 2017 Young Leaders' Summit on Northern Climate Change! 

Age: 25
Home Community: Inuvik
Current Position: Communications Specialist, Gwich’in Land and Water Board
Favorite Hobbies: Reading, sewing, and "any sport where I can wear a spandex onesie."

Why Holly decided to apply for the 2017 Young Leaders' Summit: 
"As a relative newcomer to the North, the Summit will allow me to connect with others who share my aspirations for informed environmental decision-making. I admire the breadth of work that Ecology North does to educate and promote environmentally sustainable communities, and this a great opportunity for me to get involved with that work. I hope to contribute meaningfully to Inuvik’s discussions of climate change, waste, and water management, both as a resident, and in my work with the GLWB."

A fun fact about Holly:
"My cat, Michi, is from Urubamba, Peru, where I interned as a policy analyst. His name means “cat” in Quechua, which was suggested by his good-humored veterinarian."

See you in just over a week in Whitehorse!
