Lione was born and raised in Sitka. Her interest in photography and storytelling budded at 13. Since then, she has worked to capture and share her appreciation for the beauty, value, and interconnectedness of the natural world. Lione has a degree in Resource Conservation from the University of Montana with minors in climate change studies and media arts. Nature photography, and her work with SCS over multiple summers, has inspired Lione to work in environmental conservation and use her photography to communicate relationships between people and nature and the importance of sustaining those connections in our dynamic world. In her free time, Lione enjoys hiking, biking, trail running, camping, and exploring wherever life takes her, but her roots will always be dug deep in the Tongass.
