Montana Johnson was born and raised under the California sun but made her move to Flagstaff, Arizona in 2011 to pursue an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science. After delving into the depths of South American environmental issues by studying abroad in Chile, conducting research in Argentina, and helping run a local non-profit focused on Chilean Patagonia, she wanted to take the lessons she learned and apply them to her home. She is dedicated to bridging the communication gap between science and the public and utilizing experiential learning to create change. She has a passion for all things wild and loves spending time outside playing in the dirt, identifying aquatic invertebrates, climbing up rocks, and practicing yoga.
