About Mason: Mason is originally from Kansas City and graduated from California Polytechnic University at San Luis Obispo with a degree in political science and a minor in environmental studies. He has spent the last two years as a paralegal at a Los Angeles law firm, but has also spent time volunteering and working on a mayoral campaign in his hometown. He is excited by the opportunity to make an environmental impact locally through his position at PVAS, and is hoping this experience serves as a foundation for a career in land management and conservation. In his free time, Mason likes to read, watch movies, go to concerts, and explore local hiking trails.
