Join us in welcoming Riley Becker as our fall Legal Intern! 🎉
Riley is a third-year law student at Charleston School of Law. Originally from Montana, Riley’s connection to the outdoors and the Mountain West helped shape her interest in protecting the natural world.
Before law school, she earned her B.S. in Political Science with a minor in Creative Writing from the University of Utah. Her previous environmental work includes research involving the Gallatin River, a TEDx talk on climate change and putting on her hometown’s first climate change protest.
During law school, Riley has continued to pursue environmental policy and conservation. She spent the summer interning in the Washington, D.C. office of U.S. Senator John Barrasso, where she gained experience with federal policy and the legislative process while focusing on legislation affecting public lands and tribal affairs.
At SCELP, she is excited to gain hands-on experience in environmental advocacy and deepen her understanding of how legal tools can be used to protect South Carolina. She is particularly interested in public lands, marine and wildlife conservation and environmental regulatory law.
Outside of law school, Riley enjoys skiing, mountaineering, painting, reading and writing.
