Elizabeth Wilkie joined FDAP in 1997 and, soon thereafter, became the Office Administrator. At the time, she was fresh from her overseas graduate study in Environmental Politics, a self-designed program linking international relations, political theory, and geology, and studying the juxtaposition of humanity’s technological prowess with its environmental impact. At FDAP, she discovered a strong link between her studies, public defense work, and the societal fabric underlying social and environmental justice. In her spare time, she continues to think (and sometimes write) about the intersection of environment and public justice, rivers and seas, wilderness and love.
