Ellie Stevenson has worked in the non-profit sector for the past eight years at organizations with missions from youth workforce development to health education. In 2018, she began working for organizations with an environmental focus to better fit her passion for the natural world, and she is excited to hone in on environmental science and advocacy in her fellowship with the Utah Forests Program. An avid hiker, backpacker, and biker, she has taken the opportunity to explore as much of the Southwest as possible while living in the Four Corners area. Spending time in these landscapes inspires her to do her best to protect them, so we can all continue to enjoy and learn from these places for generations to come.
