Save California Salmon

Save California Salmon (SCS) is dedicated to policy change and community advocacy for Northern California’s salmon and fish-dependent people. It was the first organization that took a chance on me and brought me in to help build their social media presence and website. What made this work meaningful was the people—being able to learn from and work alongside those who have spent years protecting their lands and waters.

I came on during a long fight to bring down the Klamath Dams. The people had already been doing this work for over 15 years, long before I arrived. I did what I could, and more than anything, I learned. I came in toward the tail end of a long struggle and had the privilege of witnessing years of dedication come to fruition when the decision was made and the dams were finally removed in 2024.

That experience will always stay with me—the work, the people, and the connections made along the way.
