Dr. Ryan Gott is an entomologist, horticulturist, and sustainable landscaping enthusiast originally from outside Chicago. He has been living in Etna with his partner and their dog and cat since 2019. He has worked in and around Pittsburgh since 2016 in the realms of horticulture, plant health care, and education. He is excited to be part of the Etna HRC to serve however he can in the bigger picture of the progressive goals of the borough.

Sophia Kachur is a current student at Roanoke College, majoring in Political Science and Spanish with a focus on local government and DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion). She has lived in Etna since she was a child after moving across the river from Bloomfield. She absolutely loves local government and hopes to work at the community level as a career someday. She is super excited to continue working with Etna Borough on the HRC, after having been a Junior Councilperson in high school and shadowing at the Borough office.

Lindsay Huff grew up in O’Hara Township and has been an Etna resident since 2013. Her first memory of the borough is of seeing the SEASONS GREETINGS ETNA, PA sign from the backseat of her parents’ cars when running holiday errands! A graduate of Syracuse University’s Metalsmithing program, she creates limited production and one-of-a-kind enamel jewelry as HUFFALO. Her artistic practice includes creating and selling work through local and regional galleries, stores, and events. Since 2008, she has been teaching metalsmithing, enameling, and sculpture to students of all ages in southwestern Pennsylvania. Receiving a Teaching Artist Certificate from University of Arts in 2018, she has collaborated with dozens of schools and teachers and shared the joy of artmaking with thousands of students through workshops, field trips, artist residencies, summer camps, and after-school programs. Lindsay lives with her family and four cats (all former Etna strays), and enjoys biking, music making, any time spent in nature, community building, and exploring the neighborhood with her daughter, Iva.
