Loren was born in the Florida Keys and split her childhood amongst the Florida flats, the New Mexican river beds, Colorado mountain streams and Montana rivers. She served two years in Guyana with the United States Peace Corps before returning to the US to pursue an MA in International Development and Social Change from Clark University. With a diverse background in nonprofit management, community development, and grant management Loren aspires to use her professional background to serve her community and ensure the Cook Inlet watershed continues to thrive for many generations to come. When not at work Loren can be found with her family reveling in their great fortune to call this place home- lounging in a blueberry patch, willing things to grow in the garden, combing through tidepools, testing new salmon recipes, or out exploring new trails.
