Environmental Policy Intern Fall 2023
About

Alison is the Policy Intern this fall at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Vermont. Alison grew up exploring the outdoors with her family all over the United States. As a child, she would go hiking and camping every other weekend. In the winters her family would enjoy hitting the slopes together. Her parents are avid birders and taught her and her sisters the joy of birding. All of this engrained in her a love for nature and the need to contribute to protecting it. As an adult, her love for the environment and her need to be outside has not dwindled. Receiving her undergraduate degree in Environmental Policy, she was inspired to further her education to better equip herself in this fight towards better environmental protection through policy and legislation. She is a current 3L at Vermont Law and Graduate School. She will then continue on in her studies to work towards an LLM in Environmental Law.
