Pronouns: she/her/hers
Miriam grew up in Indianola on the beach and in the woods. After graduating undergrad she returned home and worked to help her family’s business through the pandemic. She found IslandWood’s Grad Program by word of mouth from community members and found that it prioritizes and focuses on many of the concepts and practices that she am passionate about. She hopes to develop curriculum that contains basic principles of how to incorporate environmental education and peace into all classrooms. Miriam is a recent graduate of IslandWood’s graduate program – class of 2023! She loves to be on her paddleboard, block print or snuggle with my pup.
IslandWood acknowledges that we live and work on the ancestral land of the Coast Salish people, who have been stewards of this region's land and waters since time immemorial, and who continue to protect these lands and waters for future generations, as promised by the Point Elliott Treaty of 1855, the Treaty of Point No Point of 1855, and the Treaty of Medicine Creek of 1854.
While the majority of our work takes place on Suquamish (suq̀ʷabš) and Duwamish (dxʷdɐwʔabʃ) land, we also conduct programs on the land of the Snohomish (sduhúbʃ), Puyallup (spuyaləpabš), Muckleshoot (buklshuhls), Skokomish (sqoqc’bes), and S’Klallam (nəxʷsƛ̕ay̕əm) peoples.
