A local woman's dedication to family traditions, community service and social justice has led to what she describes as her dream job. Madras resident Katherine Quaid, 28, who also goes by KJ, has been working for a prominent international environmental organization for the past year.

Quaid is the communications and outreach coordinator for the Women's Earth and Climate Action Network, International. Known as WECAN, the nonprofit with headquarters in Mill Valley, California, has an impressive roster of international advisors that includes Jane Goodall, writer Naomi Klein, and Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Jody Williams.
