Happy New Year!

“Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success.”

– Henry Ford

With the start of the new year and the excitement of welcoming new team members to our Strategic Earth family, we can’t think of a more appropriate quote to reflect on! As we make our way through the first month of 2017, we wanted to take a moment to wish you all a happy and healthy year and update you on some of the exciting things happening here at Strategic Earth! We recently welcomed a new associate, Dr. Sara Shen. In addition to her proven skills in strategic planning and project management, Sara brings a strong science-based background to further enhance our work here at Strategic Earth. She is passionate about strengthening the linkage between science, policy, and communications to effectively contribute to complex environmental issues and decision-making processes. We are excited to have her join our team in this new capacity! We are also thrilled to have our 2016 Summer Intern, Sierra Helmann, join us as a new Project Assistant. Sierra is currently pursuing a master’s degree in marine science at Moss Landing and Marine Laboratories. She is interested in applying her skills in effective forms of outreach and communication, and we’re excited to have her onboard. All of these new beginnings make us excited to start another year of collaboration with our wonderful colleagues and partners. Wishing you all a happy and healthy New Year! -ks
