Emily Young
Advocacy Outreach Coordinator Emily is a Pennsylvania native who attended Juniata College in South Central Pennsylvania and received a degree in Environmental Chemistry in 2022. During her time at Juniata, she completed an immersive learning semester focused on Aquatic Ecology at the Raystown Field Station, where she explored and strengthened her life-long passion for the outdoors and all things streams, rivers, lakes, and ponds. Using the skills and tools she acquired during this intense, hands-on semester, she completed an undergraduate thesis investigating total phosphorus sequestration in Raystown Lake, a US Army Corps of Engineers reservoir located in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Following graduation, Emily began working as a Watershed Specialist at the Franklin County Conservation District in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, where she coordinated watershed restoration projects in the county and organized several conservation education programs and events for children and adults. In this role, Emily also worked closely with local, state, and federal partners and stakeholders to implement Franklin County’s Chesapeake Bay Countywide Action Plan. Emily served in this role for just over two years before moving to Waynesville, Missouri with her husband in June 2024. Two months later, she eagerly joined Stream Teams United as an Advocacy Outreach Coordinator with a focus on a project aimed to reduce plastic pollution in the waterways of the Great Rivers State. When she’s not engaging in watershed conservation work, Emily enjoys spending her time traveling and exploring with her husband and their dog, hiking, reading, and most recently, learning the ins and outs of sourdough baking. She is excited to join the Stream Team family and to be part of positive change in watershed conservation in Missouri. |
