Maggie Cornett has been lucky to call the Gorge home since 2012. She works at Dirt Hugger, where she gets to combine her love of people, sustainability, and community. When she’s not at work, you can usually find her working in the garden, trying out a new recipe, or hiking one of the many trails in the area.
