Welcome To Zoo Town, Krysten!
May 19, 2021
I am originally from California, however I moved to Portland immediately after graduating high school. I am now a recent graduate of Portland State University, majoring in Environmental Studies and minoring in Geography.
My love of the outdoors has continued to grow throughout my studies, and I am off to find new adventures in Missoula, Montana. I spend most of my free time biking, hiking, cooking, and playing cards with friends.
I have volunteered with the homeless, elderly, and special needs people in my community throughout my life which gives me a critical insight into the struggles that these groups face. I want to help build a stronger local community and provide resources to people who are struggling. I hope to bring a critical perspective to this Americorps VISTA position and help build a stronger Missoula.
