Marika E. Sitz is a water and natural resources attorney at Jordan Ramis PC. Marika was born and raised in Eastern Oregon and became aware of the importance of water resources a young age. Her interest in water and natural resource management developed during her time at Stanford University, where she graduated with a degree focused on food and agriculture systems.
After graduating from college, Marika remained in the Bay Area where she worked as a Program Associate at Stanford University’s Bill Lane Center for the American West. During her time at the Bill Lane Center, she had the opportunity to interact with scholars and researchers who were working on some of the West’s most notorious water issues through a program called “Water in the West.” After one year at the Bill Lane Center, she accepted an opportunity to return to her hometown of Pendleton, Oregon, and take the helm of the Oregon Water Coalition. At the Water Coalition, she gained a firsthand view of real-world, real-time water and agriculture issues and worked with Water Coalition members and community members to expand the footprint of water education events. After working on water issues in Northeast Oregon, Marika attended the University of Oregon School of Law to further her impact in the world of water and natural resources law.
Marika brings her experience to bear in her practice, where she helps clients navigate the Oregon rights system and address state and federal environmental issues in a strategic and collaborative manner.
