Khan Tung

Khan Tung worked with Columbia Slough Watershed Council as a PGE Project Zero intern from 2020 to 2021. He came to the U.S in 2015 with his mom and his younger sister. He previously worked as a summer intern with the City of Gresham from 2017-2019. With the City of Gresham, he worked on natural resources and storm drains, as well as other tasks through the City that helped him grow academically and socially. He just finished his first year of college and is working on a Bachelor's degree in Biology. He is also very interested in acting and he wrote a script for Zomi Catholic Community Portland which was acted by himself and other youths last year on Parents’ Day. The play was about how the living standard is very different in the United States than back in Myanmar. He is excited to work for the Slough and very keen to learn everything he can from every direction that he moves into.

Favorite Slough place? The gazebo/eco-roof at Whitaker Ponds because it makes me feel relaxed and fills me with fresh energy.

Favorite way to explore the Slough? Of course with canoe, that way I can flow with the water as I breathe the fresh air around the Slough and see what kind of animals live out there.
