Phoebe Reid

Board of Directors
Pronouns: She/Her

Phoebe grew up on the Olympic Peninsula in a family of adventurers and attended a local nature connection school as a teen. She worked as a backpacking guide with adults and teens in Alaska, Montana and Washington before finishing her undergraduate degree in the Program on the Environment at the University of Washington. After working at Amazon and at a startup in Los Angeles, Phoebe attended the Immersion at WAS – an experience she describes as deeply connective and life affirming. Phoebe was an apprentice to the Immersion program the following year and became a full time instructor for Immersion in 2022 – you can see her in action in this episode of the Try Guys! She completed her MBA at the UW Foster School of Business in 2026 and moved back to her home town of Port Townsend to work in rural economic development. She is excited to bring her lived experience as a student and staff member at WAS to the board, along with her passion for finance and strategy.
