Hancock, Michigan, United States

My name is Krause and I use they/them pronouns.
I am the Outreach Coordinator for the College of Forest Resources and Environmental Science at Michigan Technological University with a background in wildland firefighting, criminal justice, forestry, and diversity work. I currently hold the position of secretary for the National SAF Diversity and Inclusion Working Group, and serve as the Chair in my College at MTU for our Diversity Committee.
As a minoritized individual and part of the LGBTQ+ community, my diversity work in natural resources has spread around the country. I have presented other versions of OUTside with Pride at multiple SAF events and smaller forestry conferences across the Midwest. My work in DEI focuses on teaching NR professionals the impacts shared among individuals when diversity is intentionally incorporated within our field. Since I began my Master of Forestry degree I have incorporated my passion for DEI, social justice, wildland fire, and the environment to teach others how to be an ally, create sustainable forestry practices, and save our future forests.
