Montana began with the CAN family in 2008, serving as Program Coordinator for CAN-International. In addition, until recently, Montana split her time between CAN Canada (CAN-Rac), where she was Outreach Coordinator, and CAN-International.
She holds a Bachelor¹s of Science degree, with a focus on plant ecology, from Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada. Before working with CAN, Montana worked for two years as a research assistant where she studied grassland plant ecology, including plant community responses to predicted climate change models. At this time she was also involved in university and municipal environmental activism and founded a student environmental group.
Currently, Montana works out of British Columbia, Canada.
