 West Coast is excited to have two Communications Interns working with us through the summer of 2010.  Our interns are:

Marie Burgoyne:  Marie is a fourth-year UBC student finishing a BA in English Literature and Philosophy. She is enjoying her summer internship with West Coast and hopes to enter Law school in the fall.

Marie grew up in Delta, living on her grandparents’ farm on the edge of Burns Bog. Her fifth-grade teacher was very active with the Bog’s conservation society, and would often skip Math lessons to go on spontaneous nature walks. It was then that Marie developed an interest in conservation and sustainability issues.

Marie’s other interests and hobbies include watching science fiction, listening to country music, and sailing at Jericho Beach.
 

Tiffany Tarampi: Tiffany is excited to work in an organization which she can marry her non-profit experience with her interest in environmental conservation. In her spare time, she enjoys travel, reading and fine food and wine.
