The 2025 iFishiBelong “Be What You Don’t See” campaign highlights leaders who are breaking barriers in the fishing industry. Each month, we will feature individuals who challenge conventions and inspire change with their passion and resilience, motivating the next generation of anglers to create their own paths and “be what they don’t see.”
By highlighting these trailblazers, we aim to inspire broader participation and show that leadership roles in the fishing industry are accessible to everyone, creating a more inclusive vision of success.
This March’s iFishiBelong “Be What You Don’t See” campaign, we’re featuring fisheries biologist and environmental educator Anna Le. Anna founded Grayling Education, a consulting practice that helps organizations and individuals develop accessible and fun ecological and science education programming through an intersectional, multicultural, and equity lens. Her clients and partners include environmental agencies, NGOs, non-profits, businesses, community groups, and individuals who believe in collaboration for positive change.
Anna volunteers her time and leadership skills as vice chair of the Environmental Justice Section of the Ecological Society of America and is a board member of the Oregon Hatchery Research Center. Anna’s certifications include Trauma Informed Educator (Oregon Education Association), Wilderness First Responder (Aerie Backcountry Medicine), and CPR/AED/First Aid CPR/AED/First Aid (American Heart Association). She’s currently obtaining a Master’s of Science in Science Education from Montana State University.
Anna blends conservation, education, and representation to inspire and empower the next generation of stewards and change-makers.
