In one word: attentive!

Finley is CCL’s Blog Communications Intern this fall! He is a senior at the University of Oregon.

California has been experiencing the impacts of climate change, especially the increased intensity of forest fires. Growing up in the Golden State, Finley witnessed this change firsthand. This experience led him to want to learn more about what was being done to solve the impacts these fires have on him and his community. He is a senior at the University of Oregon studying city planning and policy.

This fall, Finley is serving as CCL’s communications intern. Some of his responsibilities include assisting in editing and uploading blogs through G Suite and Wordpress. He has also done a ton of work formatting Citizens’ Climate Radio blog posts, transcripts, and digital links. One of his long-term projects has been creating a “How to” guide for future Comms interns, outlining the blog creation and uploading process His favorite book is on the Road by Jack Kerouac, and he has a dog named Lucy!

Through this internship, he hopes to learn more about how people who may not have a daily job working on the environment and climate can still make a difference for the better. He believes that learning to show off people’s efforts to pursue climate solutions through CCL is important.
