2020 Intern: Brielle Olshan

Brielle graduated from Ramapo College of New Jersey with a psychology major and environmental studies and literature minors.

Before joining The Land Conservancy of New Jersey as both a planning and a development intern, Brielle was a policy intern with the Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed (CDRW). During her time with CDRW, she worked on developing both the Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Justice and the Plastic Advocacy Toolkits, developing policy resources, advocating for policy, and conducting outreach to member organizations.

“I am excited to be working with The Land Conservancy of New Jersey because it is vital that we preserve our open space, farmlands, and forests. I love being outdoors and active, which aligns well with The Land Conservancy’s mission,” she said.

Brielle plans to pursue a career in the environmental field. She is especially interested in food securing, renewable energy, plastic policy, and land preservation.
