Hillary Olsen

Hillary served as a crew leader for two different Conservation Corps before eventually making her way to CCMI as a staff member. She currently lives in Onigamiinsing (Duluth) and recently earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Minnesota-Duluth. Hillary is passionate about intentionally and respectfully building relationships with traditionally underrepresented communities in Northern Minnesota, to ensure that stewardship of place and positive outdoor experiences are more accessible and culturally informed for all.

Hillary enjoys many fun outdoor activities, such as camping, backpacking, cross country skiing, biking, and canoeing. When indoors, she can often be found baking up a storm in her kitchen or attempting to learn Ojibwe.
