Ryan Law, Board Member
“Life is a daring adventure or nothing at all” - Helen Keller
I am a native upstate New Yorker. Having grown up surrounded by the
hardwood forests and rivers of the Adirondack area, exploring the
natural world was easy. The sense of fulfillment and wonder I found
from being outside and away from suburbia eventually lead me to Idaho.
I spent several summers rock climbing and kayaking Idaho’s grandeur. A
few years later, after graduating from Syracuse University I moved to
Alaska, taught school there, married my high school sweetheart and
returned to Idaho. I later pursued a MS in physiology in 1997 and
completed an MFA in Art in 2005.
We have lived north of Moscow in an old farmstead for twenty-two
years and raised three precious children. My husband is a professor in
Electrical Engineering. I teach swimming and yoga at the University of
Idaho. I am currently a board member of Palouse Studio Potters. I
serve as a promotion and fundraiser member. I have been a member of
Moscow’s Volunteer EMT Department for five years. I am a licensed
wildlife rehabilitator and spend most of my summers caring for sick,
orphaned and injured wildlife. My concern for our environment and our
impact on the planet has led me to work with PCEI. Additional stuff
about me: I love dogs – we own five!
