Alexa joined CoosWA in 2013. Her background is in insect ecology, which she discovered while studying Evolution and Ecology at UC Davis. She went on to complete a master’s degree at Washington State University Vancouver, focusing on habitat restoration for rare butterflies. She now shares her passion about ecology with the Coos watershed community through stewardship projects, youth programs, and community outreach. In her spare time, you can find her crouched down taking photos of insects.
Role at CoosWA: Alexa oversees our school-based youth programs, manages CoosWA’s communications (website, social media, newsletters), and co-organizes outreach events including the annual Coos Watershed Mayfly Festival. Reach out to Alexa if you have any ideas/questions about our outreach programs!

“Bringing the Coos Watershed Mayfly Festival to life! The most fun part of my job each year is to see people come out to sing, eat, dance, and celebrate the watershed that we all call home.”
