With over 18 years of professional experience, Libby has worked with non-profit organizations, Tribes, academic institutions, and state and federal agencies to deepen and expand impacts. Most recently, she served as Manager of Conservation Integration at World Wildlife Fund where she co-founded and co-developed a new non-profit now staffed by seven and funding multiple entities. She has led-to-completion climate adaptation plans, conservation and financial management plans, communication strategies, and outreach and engagement plans. She has also partnered to create new programs ranging from youth engagement to beaver-led restoration, as well as developed non-profit organizational policies, provided technical guidance to non-profit leaders, and co-raised millions of dollars in funding for conservation.

Perspective grows from a creative life, and Libby gets inspiration from having lived and worked in Southern Africa, traveled across the US, and continuing to travel and engage in dance, theater, and comedy improv.

Libby grew up in Spokane, Washington planting and selling Christmas trees to help fund college. She ran around the foothills of the Rocky Mountains for fun and loved listening to wind in the Ponderosa pines. She has a PhD in Forestry and Conservation from University of Montana, a Masters in Agriculture from University of Pretoria, and BA in Biology from Whitworth University.
