Personal Summary

Dylan recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, with a B.S. in Chemical Biology and minor in History. Before joining the team at the Mansfield Center, Dylan interned as a Pathways Legal Assistant Intern at the Social Security Administration’s Office of Hearings Operations (OHO) in Oakland, CA, from commencement until his move to Missoula in August, 2023. Moving in support of his partner’s career in biology, Dylan worked reception at Montana Legal Services Association where he conducted intake and coordinated the Western Montana Bar Association’s (WMBA) Pro Bono program until joining the Mansfield Center in February. Dylan has been a passionate climate action advocate since 2006, when he first learned of the manmade, universal, and imminent perils converging on Earth's inhabitants. This is still what motivates him in all he does more than anything to this day. In his free time, Dylan plays guitar, sings, hikes and plays with his two dogs, builds computers, loves playing board games, and is always eager to learn something new.
