Pauline holds a lifelong passion for conservation and a love of the outdoors. She grew up on a sheep ranch along the banks of the Mattole River in remote Northern California. She leads the operations team of Donor Engagement. She has extensive experience working with donors who have either a lot or a little to give, and is inspired daily by the kindness and generosity of people in her community. She received a Bachelor’s Degree in pre-law from Mills College, and later earned a Master’s Degree from The George Washington University in Political Management. Among her many interests, she has volunteered at a program that takes WWII and Korean War veterans on a four-day trip to Washington D.C. to visit and reflect at their respective War Memorials. Outside of work she’ll be found teaching her feisty cattle dog new tricks, plotting the next adventure and learning foreign languages.
