Our Team

Bio:

Anne joined ONDA in 2016 as an intern in the first year of our Sage-Grouse Habitat Monitoring Program and fell in love the high desert. She’s held a number of roles since then, including Wildlands Coordinator and Policy Manager. In her current role as Conservation Program Manager, Anne is central to ONDA’s mission to protect and defend Oregon’s high desert, guiding the organization’s wildlands inventories and monitoring, applying the latest conservation science and policy to public lands planning and management, and supporting ONDA’s conservation team to advance campaigns and initiatives across the region, often through collaboration with partners and local communities.

Anne earned her bachelor’s degree in social science from Oregon State University-Cascades with an emphasis on community development and leadership. Through her years of field work across the desert she has amassed an extensive knowledge of desert ecology and is particularly obsessed with forbs.

When she’s not out in the field, Anne enjoys hiking trails in search of new wildflowers, cooking, cultivating her own native plant garden, and spending time with her dog and family.
