About Athena

Athena knows north Eugene, as a former Sheldon High School student and active community advocate. Since high school she has been active, as the President of her school’s Gender Sexuality Alliance club and an involved member of the Asian Student Union.

She focused in on the environment and recieved her Bacherlor’s in Biology from Coe College before returning to Eugene to work for The Walama Restoration Project, where she maintained and restored threatened ecosystems in critical watersheds. She then worked as a timber cruiser for a brief stint before begining at the Fund for the Public Interest supporting environmental advocacy causes.

Athena is a staple at many community advocacy groups, Eugene City Council meetings, Toxics Board and the Police Commission among others, as well as serving on Library Advisory Board. Being on City Council would give her the opportunity to continue her advocacy and bring a fresh progressive voice to address some of the most pressing issues facing our community.
