                                          PCEI collaborates with this fabulous Portland-based non-profit

                                          Ashlie Tainer

                                          CEC Director

                                          Ashlie grew up in Portland, Oregon, and after a combined eight years of pursuing graduate studies in environmental studies and working abroad leading experiential learning programs, she is excited to be putting down roots back in the Pacific Northwest.

                                          Her career started unknowingly with Confluence in 2011 when she worked as an AmeriCorps member with PCEI, which is where her passion for environmental education and community service was solidified. She then completed a second term of service as an AmeriCorps member with The Nature Conservancy in Phoenix, Arizona and knew she wanted to pursue a permanent role with the AmeriCorps program in the future. Coming full circle, Ashlie is excited to work closely with PCEI again and have the opportunity to put her experiences from the AmeriCorps and international travels to use leading the next generation of environmental stewards and leaders.

                                          When she’s not working, Ashlie enjoys spending time outside hiking, camping and wine tasting. You can also find her catching up on her favorite true crime podcasts and trying to find a way to put chocolate in almost everything.

                                            Megan Brown

                                            CEC Recruitment and Program Coordinator

                                            Born and raised in Portland, OR, Megan earned a Bachelor’s degree in International Studies from the University of Oregon, with minors in Food Systems and Spanish. She joined Confluence in April 2024 as the Recruitment and Program Coordinator, bringing with her a background in volunteer management, a passion for environmental justice, and a drive to help build more sustainable and just communities through compassion and empowerment. Megan is excited to use her experience to help guide and develop our future environmental leaders and AmeriCorps members in Oregon.
                                            In her free time, Megan enjoys playing with clay, listening to live music, and camping on Mt. Hood with her family and friends.
