Our Chapter is lucky to be having four motivated Interns in our Portland office this summer. Join us in welcoming them to our team, and if you're in the area, stop by to say hello and see the incredible work they'll be up to.
As a Portland native, Madeline Rosser is excited to be back for the summer to get some hands-on experience working in the field of environmental conservation as the Chapter's Campaign Organizer.
Madeline is a rising senior at The George Washington University, where she studies political science, sustainability, and history. Her passion for politics is what led Madeline to pursue secondary education in the nation's capital. In the past, she has had the honor of interning for Senator Ron Wyden, where she gained experience with constituent communtication and policy research. Her interest in environmental policy, however, has grown out of her experience studying abroad in Barcelona this past semester, where she studied ecology in the Mediterranean environment and sustainable tourism, and her deeply rooted love for all things natural.
In her spare time, Madeline loves spending time with her family and friends in the great outdoors through hiking, backpacking, and skiing. During the school year, you can find her frequenting coffee shops around DC or practicing with the ultimate frisbee team on the National Mall. She is also highly involved in GW's community service sorority, through which she has worked with a variety of incredible volunteer organizations throughout the DC area.

Erin Lee is a rising Junior at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington, majoring in Environmental Studies and Politics, and will be the communications advisor this summer. Born and raised in the Seattle area, Erin is passionate about environmental issues and hopes to pursue a career in environmental public health. She loves living in Seattle and Walla Walla, but if she could choose to live anywhere, it would be the White House. Ask her about why she's interested in art, animal rights, music, going zero-waste, being outside, student government, or Comic Con, and she will happily answer.
Erin is excited to be working in Portland this summer and can't wait to explore all that the city has to offer. She also looks forward to meeting likeminded people and learning new things at the Oregon Sierra Club!
