Fynn Crooks
Fynn is the Advocacy Senior Community Organizer at PIH. They love hyping global public health campaigns and getting Engagers the support they need to reach out effectively to their elected officials. Before landing at PIH, Fynn spent several years working on a small, grassroots political campaign in Vermont to change the way we fund and access childcare. Before that, Fynn spent nearly two decades teaching math to middle schoolers, where they cultivated a pretty good sense of humor and a healthy love for algebra. In their free time, Fynn co-leads a ridiculous activist marching band. They love contra dancing, swimming in ponds, mountain biking, cross country skiing, wild ice skating, and chugging maple syrup, just like any other good Vermonter. Fynn lives with their partner, Anna, and the best cat in the world, Simon, in Brattleboro, Vermont.
