Colleen Cooley

Colleen grew up wandering the sandstones, mesas, and washes in Shonto, Arizona (located on the Navajo Nation). Her curious mind and innate connection to the lands and waters led her to earning an M.S. in Climate Science & Solutions from Northern Arizona University in 2012. Colleen is an advocate and river guide on the San Juan River, a community organiser, a facilitator, a researcher, an amateur photographer, and a volunteer and recent board member with the Flagstaff Mountain Film Festival.
