About the Bloggers

Amanda Hanley, Editor

Amanda works with a team of researchers, analysts and policy wonks, and she loves the challenge of making the complex information they supply her useful and accessible. Although she covers a multitude of topics for Enviroblog, her pet interests include food, sustainable small-scale agriculture, and environmental justice. When she's not managing Enviroblog, you'll find her writing in her favorite coffee shop or pickin' her banjo in Dupont Circle.

Bill Walker

Bill is a native Texan in exile in California, and the only known person to have worked for both Earth First! and the League of Conservation Voters. When not running EWG's West Coast office, he raises kids in the Berkeley hills and hangs out in rock 'n' roll bars in the cool gray city of love. His column, Greetings from California, examines environmental politics in the state that leads the nation.

Jovana Ruzicic

As Enviroblog's international staffer, Jovana writes about international news and domestic policy issues. When she's not making waves in the media working for EWG's press team, she is an avid reader, traveler, and news junkie who does her best to fight all forms of oppression.

Michelle Perez

Michelle conducts research and outreach to achieve the most effective agricultural-environmental policies. She has a degree in Marine Sciences from Occidental College in California, and is currently finishing up a PhD in agricultural-environmental policy from the University of Maryland. Michelle enjoys life with her teenage step-daughter, husband, and purebred mutt; competing in 48-Hour film contests; and reading novels with strong female characters.

Olga Naidenko

Olga holds a Ph.D. degree in immunology from the UCLA Molecular Biology Institute. Prior to joining EWG, she worked in Los Angeles, San Diego, and St. Louis, publishing 30 peer-reviewed papers in molecular and structural immunology. At EWG, Olga focuses on human health effects of chemical pollution. Olga enjoys yoga, dance, and learning new languages.
