Natasha (Tash) Haycock-Chavez is the Outreach and Network Manager for ELOKA, and a project manager for a joint project on Tribal engagement with the National Parks Service and CEEE. Tash is passionate about working at the intersection of Indigenous interests and research and has vast experience working in Arctic science communication and outreach. She also has a master’s degree in Geography where she was invited by the community of Sanikiluaq, Nunavut, to conduct a GIS spatial analysis for their community-lead protected area. Being part of an Indigenous-led conversation project was a pivotal experience and inspired her to continue supporting Indigenous-led initiatives and projects. Today, Tash can be found dog sitting furry friends and exploring the beautiful Pacific Northwest in her self-converted van.
