New associate organizer for the Our Wild America campaign
Sierra Club welcomes Victoria Leistman as our new associate organizer for the Our Wild America campaign. Victoria hails from Long Island and grew up with an appreciation for the beaches that are vital to the character of lower New York. She has worked previously in Bend, Oregon, and Olympia, Washington, where she developed a love for the landscapes and people that make up the Pacific Northwest.
Victoria is incredibly excited to have the opportunity to work with communities across Washington State to protect wild spaces and stop fossil fuel infrastructure. A recent graduate of Green Corps, the Field School for Environmental Organizing, Victoria has experience running environmental campaigns and engaging communities. She graduated from Tufts University in Boston and loves to run, hike and travel.
Victoria will split her time between working to designate more conservation spaces in the Olympic Peninsula and to stop proposed oil terminals across the state.
