Meet Our 2018 Graduate Intern, Janine Gates

Janine Gates | Economic and Community Development Graduate Intern   

She/Her/Hers

Janine Gates looks forward to PAALF creating the Black Portland she had growing up. She is currently a Candidate for PSU’s Masters of Urban and Regional Planning program. Besides loving her studies, Janine enjoys spending time with Daisy (her dog) and community, listening to podcasts, playing tennis, and traveling.
Janine is thrilled to intern with PAALF and looks forward to understanding the needs and desires of Black Portland.

Give Janine a seat at the table and she will bring someone(s) with her. She believes all voices and bodies are needed to ensure Black Portland is building/sustaining community and thriving.

As of June 2019, Janine is no longer a team member here at Imagine Black. Her presence and hard work will continue to have an impact on the organization moving forward.
