Adriana Lovell | President
Adriana is champion for urban habitats and collaboration in the Portland area. As a 2016 Confluence AmeriCorps Fellow with local nonprofit Green Lents, she found a love for the many facets of community engagement, program planning, and organizational development. Now she coordinates Education and Outreach at Tualatin Soil and Water Conservation District. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies-Biology from Reed College and a GIS Certificate from Portland Community College (helpful for all her mapping needs). She is passionate about shifting our collective conservation actions toward creating a just environmental movement. She fills her free days with her family of three, baking, backpacking in the Cascades, and hanging out with her 8 half-siblings.
Maria Clark | Treasurer
Maria grew up in San Diego, California. After serving an AmeriCorps term as a College Coach for College Possible, she had found a strong desire and respect for nonprofits whose missions align with sustainability and education. She had come across Confluence by working alongside one of its many amazing members fulfilling their AmeriCorps term at the nonprofit Forth, where she provides administrative, human resource, financial, and organizational support in its mission to advance electric, shared and smart transportation in keeping our air clean and protecting the places we call home. Maria likes to spend her time experimenting (and sometimes troubleshooting) in the kitchen and going on camping trips.
Pramodh Jacob | Secretary
Pramodh's involvement with Confluence began by joining the 2020-21 Cohort serving at Solar Oregon. After his AmeriCorps term, he transitioned to Forth, a non-profit focused on equitably advancing electric mobility. He worked on projects to help deliver the benefits of shared EVs, and energy efficiency to communities impacted by climate change in Oregon. He is now working for the City of Portland at the Portland Clean Energy Fund as a Project Manager. He manages a portfolio of grants and strategic program components in the Transportation Decarbonization funding category.
