Helen serves as the Southwest Montana Community Conservation Specialist at TWS. She works to understand people’s relationships to landscapes, expand partnerships, and strengthen TWS’s connections to communities to protect Montana’s wild places. Prior to her role, she worked as an organizer with the Wyoming Outdoor Council, bringing a collaborative approach to her work connecting with community members, organizational partners, tribal members, and land agencies across western Wyoming.

She grew up exploring the lakes and woods of northern Wisconsin by canoe, which spurred her to pursue bachelor degrees in Conservation Biology and Environmental Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Outside of work, Helen teaches avalanche courses and loves crafting creative meals for others, writing, and painting.
