Natalie Deehan-Clark serves as a GlobalPDX Ambassador and the Communications Coordinator for the Center for Renewable Energy & Appropriate Technology for the Environment. Natalie earned her BS in Advertising from the School of Journalism & Communication at the University of Oregon. Upon graduation, her aspiration to continue learning led her on a journey around the world for one year. This gave Natalie first-hand experience with the diverse challenges some rural communities are facing and solidified her desire to work on sustainable solutions and community empowerment. Through her travel and work experiences, Natalie became interested in the power of storytelling as a catalyst for education and social change to create a sustainable and equitable future.
