Amy Rodrigues Outreach Coordinator 916-442-2666 ext. 107 800-319-7621 ext. 107 amy@ mountainlion.org	Amy has always been passionate about wildlife and conservation issues. After a childhood full of camping trips and furry, scaled and feathered pets, she began studying ecology. Amy continued her education at the University of California, Santa Barbara, graduating with honors in Zoology and a minor in Geological Sciences. In 2008 she served a year in AmeriCorps to help people and protect the wildlife of the Sierra Nevada. With her host site, the Mountain Lion Foundation, Amy worked with residents in the Central Sierra Region to reduce conflicts with mountain lions. In 2009 Amy accepted a full time position with MLF as the Outreach Coordinator and is expanding MLF's outreach efforts by utilizing the latest web-based technologies to impart information about mountain lions to the public far beyond what had been previously possible.
