Linnea’s love for the natural world began on the urban trails of her hometown of Toledo, OH, and has only continued to grow since she moved to Seattle in 2018. She has dedicated her career to contributing to a more equitable and sustainable future, serving in communications roles at Seattle Indian Health Board and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Discovery Center and as an environmental educator at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. Linnea’s undergraduate thesis for her B.A. in biology focused on glass frog populations in Costa Rica, and she conducted her thesis for her M.A. in museum studies on environmental self-efficacy among zoo and aquarium visitors. She is also a certified yoga instructor. Outside of the office, you can find Linnea hiking, paddling, seeking out live music, and spending quality time with her tortoiseshell cat, Mina.
