Paige works as the beach cleanup intern with San Diego Coastkeeper. She developed a passion for environmental stewardship after moving to California, and seeing a world where sustainable practices were taught and prioritized-which was not the case in New Mexico. This motivated her to educate herself about the changes that are needed, and educate others as well. San Diego Coastkeeper allows her to further her understanding of coastal environmental issues and solutions, while advocating to a large number of people from the community.
This passion for conservation and sustainability, led Paige to a career path in environmental studies. She is currently pursuing a B.S. in Geography with a minor in Sustainability at San Diego State University. Alongside her role at Coastkeeper, she works at the Office of Energy and Sustainability at SDSU, and with a SDSU Professor to model and study the impacts of wildfires. Outside of work she can be found anywhere near the beach, or exploring San Diego.
