Dainee Gibson and Katie Jay have joined the Boise office of The Idaho Conservation League. After earning her bachelor’s degree in biology and sustainability science from Furman University, Gibson packed up and moved to Pocatello, where she obtained a master’s degree from Idaho State University. Her research at ISU consisted of using a social-ecological approach to identify conservation opportunities within the Portneuf River watershed. As ICL’s conservation analyst, she will use her analytical skills to support work to help combat climate change.

ICL’s data development assistant, Katie Jay, has a strong background in working with community-centered organizations. After graduating from Seattle University with a degree in English and creative writing, she moved to Boise where she has worked with donors and volunteers at a variety of nonprofits including The Discovery Center of Idaho, the Treasure Valley YMCA, and Zoo Boise.
