2024 Summer Legal Interns
With the generous backing of the Evergreen Hill Education Fund of Oregon Community Foundation, we welcome our summer law clerks and are excited about helping build the next generation of public interest environmental attorneys.

Dana was born in San Diego but grew up in South Texas and Virginia. In Virginia, she regularly went hiking and camping with her father in the Blue Ridge Mountains. She visited family in Oregon every summer, which is where her love of the outdoors grew. After receiving her bachelor’s degree, Dana moved out west to Cottage Grove, Oregon. She spent nine years in the agriculture industry before returning to school to study law at the University of Oregon. Dana continues to hike, camp, and backpack as much as she can. Dana is an avid gardener and owns a quarter acre plot with her husband and two cats where they utilize every part to grow food, herbs, and flowers. In law school, she is a board member on the Oregon Law Review and will be a fellow for the Environmental & Natural Resources Center her 3L year. After graduating, Dana hopes to remain in the area and to find work that benefits her community.
