Cosley Bruno is our Alaska Conservation Foundation Intern helping facilitate our 4-H Alaska Way of Life projects and youth programs. She was raised in Gustavus Alaska, and was brought up with an appreciation for land based learning, and rural community connection. Cosley's favorite parts of life are watercoloring, preparing a dish for the potluck, or beachcombing for treasures. Attending Mount Edgecumbe High School in Sitka, she was inspired by her peers' expression of Alaska Native heritage through dance, clothing, shared food, and moments of laughter. This education experience left her with a commitment to learn from and participate in diverse communities.
Cosley is currently pursuing a Communications degree at the University of Montana, with recent study abroad experience in New Zealand where she expanded her understanding of Indigenous policy and multicultural sustainability. She is passionate about fostering environmental education and cultural respect among youth, and is eager to contribute to the Sitka Conservation Society’s youth programs!
