Sheena is a native Oregonian, growing up in Portland and living in various parts of the state throughout the last 10 years. She received her Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Conservation at Oregon State University in 2012 and worked several years as a seasonal technician before moving into the administrative role of two non-profit animal rescue organizations. She then spent three years backpacking the country’s national scenic trails before heading to Medford where she helped manage the financials of a small business. She is excited to combine her love of conservation with her knowledge of bookkeeping to support the mission of Coos Watershed Association.

Role at CoosWA: As the Finance Manager for CoosWA, Sheena manages all of our financial transactions and documentation, including managing the financial component of over 100 grants. Essentially, she makes sure funds flow through CoosWA smoothly (between $1.5 and $4 million annually) and go to all the right people and places!

Memorable experience outdoors in Coos County?

As of June 2024, Sheena is a brand-new resident of Coos Bay and looks forward to exploring the beaches, headlands, and lush forests surrounding this area. Her favorite memory so far is hiking to Upper Golden Falls, where she was blown away by the beauty and incredible perspective of a waterfall.
