About Me

About Me

Hello! My name is Maris Toalson. I studied journalism, political science, and science communication and earned a certificate in outdoor leadership at the University of Oregon. I’m passionate about social and environmental issues and the outdoors, and I seek to make them more accessible through outdoor education, science communication, and storytelling.

​

Outside of the office, you can find me participating in one of my many (arguably too many) hobbies, such as skiing, climbing, backpacking, and trail running. I also enjoy spending time with my cat Rhyolite, crafting, reading, and writing prose in my notes app when I’m not climbing mountains!
