  1. Dear One Island,
    I am highly interested in working with your organization in any of your Washington, California, or Hawaii locations. If there are currently any positions available, whether they are full-time, part-time, temporary, or even volunteer, I am deeply interested in getting involved. I have a wide variety of skills and I would like to work with One Island in any way possible. I have editorial, educational, social, environmental, technical, and organizational skill sets that could enable me to take on a variety of different roles. From your website, I can see that you have an editorial team and produce newsletters. If there are any editorial or written content positions available, I would love to get involved in any way I can. I am also open to teaching classes, promoting educational programs, organizing events, supporting environmental programs, or providing general organizational support in any form that I can. I am also willing to get my hands dirty if you need more people working with the land. I am highly passionate about everything your organization stands for and I am ready and able to relocate to California, Washington, or Hawaii depending upon where you may need me the most. I have attached a picture of me, and you can find my resume on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/angela-mergentime-38b9b042. Please email me or call me at 720-209-6333.
    The opportunity to support One Island means a lot to me and I look forward to hearing from you,
    Angela Mergentime
