Julie Meikowski

Julie Meikowski joined the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) in 2014.

Julie was born and raised in the Midwest and spent most of her adult life traveling and working in, and for, the protection of the natural environment. She has her Bachelor’s degree from Prescott College in Environmental Studies and her Master’s from Northern Arizona University in Climate Science.

Julie is passionate about environmental responsibility and has done work ranging from studying jaguar populations throughout the U.S. and Mexico border wall regions to researching energy policy to determine new markets for renewable energy credits.

Before making Flagstaff her home, she worked in northern California implementing building and energy efficiency programs, creating a Green Business Program for Humboldt County, working on greenhouse gas inventories and climate action plans for a number of cities in northern California, and helping to create and organize green building events and conferences.

She is a backpacking guide in Grand Canyon National Park and a mom of two young boys, Journey and Quest. She is most at home when she is outdoors on the trail, appreciating all the gifts around her.
