As Digital Community Manager, Serena Amdur's mission is to encourage a more engaged and supported climate movement through MiCAN’s digital platforms. Her natural interest in community resiliency and local climate solutions led her to earn a bachelor's degree in environmental studies from Macalester College, with an emphasis on cultural sustainability and a minor in food, agriculture, and society.

Serena went to high school in the Netherlands, which provided one of many opportunities to experience how societies differ in their perception and interaction with their environments. She also has cross-cultural experience through spending time with her family in Taiwan, growing up in a multicultural family in the north suburbs of Chicago, and studying food security, nutrition, and sustainable development in Geneva, Switzerland, during college. Now, in northern Michigan, where she grew up spending the summer, she recalls how the area sparked her passion for preserving the environment. Serena is an avid reader, cook, and language learner in her free time.
