 Denver's Green Route, Project Coordinator

Gates Minis is the first Greentern for Green Spaces Colorado and has been working to create a Green Map for Denver and will be working with clients on varying projects.  Originally from Savannah, GA but considers herself a Colorado transplant after attending the University of Colorado where she graduated with a BA in Environmental Studies. After graduation she headed to Washington, DC for 18 months where she worked on Capital Hill and at children’s nonprofit named First Book. But the call of the Colorado Mountains and environmental aware lifestyle was too strong so she came back to Denver via Vail. She has been nearly consumed with finding as many locations for Green Map that has been dubbed Denver’s Green Route. Gates is working on her Masters in Public Adminstration with a concentration on environmental policy, managemnet, and law from the University of Colorado at Denver and will graduate in 2012.
