After a decade-long career in marketing at record labels, Carmen moved to the nonprofit world to align her work with her values.

Policies are integral to environmental protection, but they are often written in ways that make them difficult for most people to understand. Carmen is passionate about simplifying complicated language so it’s more accessible and engaging. Her goal is to encourage people to get involved in local environmental and social justice issues.

Pat’s been on the FWSR board for a long time now, and every FWSR board meeting is still fun.  Pat is grateful to the FWSR supporters who have sustained the group since the 1970’s.  Hurrah for past success and onward to new victories!

Pat’s parents were heavily involved with Rachel Carson in environmental work, so her environmental activism education began early.  Pat holds degrees from Vassar College, A.B. sociology and English; the Cambridge-Goddard School for Social Change, M.A.  women’s history; and the California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo, M.S Agriculture.  Pat’s a graduate, Class XVII, of the California Agricultural Leadership Program.  She spent most of her working career in production agriculture.  She moved to Trout Lake in 1991 to take a position as production manager at Trout Lake Farms.
