Noelle Cirisan started with MN350 as a volunteer before contracting with MN350 on voter outreach for the 2020 election. She currently serves on staff as MN350’s Political Manager. Noelle loves bringing people together around climate justice policy at the state and federal levels.

Noelle’s interest in climate justice has been informed by her childhood on the California Central Coast where she watched a changing climate and oil spills change the lives of the people around her.  She has her B.A. from San Francisco State University and a J.D. from Vermont Law School where she studied water and environmental law. She has lived in Minnesota since 2017 and loves exploring everything the Midwest has to offer.

Krystil Rose was born and raised in the Twin Cities. As a child, her parents strongly believed in giving back and kept her active with many volunteering organizations, including the MN Raptor Center and Race for the Rainbow. As she grew up, her love for nature strengthened and she knew her commitment to the planet and its inhabitants had to match that passion. Krystil is thrilled to now be a part of the MN350 team working full-time for meaningful changes. Previously working as a general manager of a small business, she hopes to utilize her skills to help achieve the vision of MN350.

When Krystil isn’t working, you can find her performing and teaching dance, camping, hiking, foraging, or trying out a new creative art form. She loves trying new vegetarian food with friends or having a lazy Sunday afternoon with her cat Xena.

Georgia Feldman (she/they) joined MN350 in 2026 to educate communities about urban forestry and address environmental inequities in the Twin Cities. They came to Minnesota in 2020 to study Environmental Sciences: Conservation and Resource Management and Landscape Design at the University of Minnesota: Twin Cities, and fell in love with the Minneapolis spirit. Since, she has grown her connections through work in climate justice with involvement in local organizations, and is ecstatic to join the MN350 team in their pursuits for a more sustainable city and world. 

At the moment, their biggest goal is to adopt a dog. If the staff picture gets an update, you’ll know they succeeded.
