Etosha is finishing the final credits of their Masters of Urban and Regional Planning degree. Their interest in this program came from a long fascination with waste, recycling, and reuse. They are passionate about creating sustainable communities that benefit all people and are resilient in the face of unpredictable climate events. Their past experiences include environmental education, early childhood teaching, art-making focused on waste cycles, graphic design, and social media communication. They have been the Program Administrator for Community Environmental Services since 2023 and are currently working with the Center for Public Service on a research project focused on hazardous waste cleanup in partnership with DEQ. When they are not working on PSU-related projects, they can be found in the garden, in the kitchen, with their nose in a book, or hanging out with their awesome four-year-old.
