I'm a California Climate Action Corps Fellow with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife in the Upper Newport Bay Ecological Reserve. As the Blue Carbon Coordinator, I've developed and implemented guided nature walks on the topic of blue carbon as a natural climate solution.

Anna is an envrionmental educator with experience working in local government level positions. She has worked at a small, rural environmental education center in the Adirondack mountains of New York, and in rural counties north of Richmond Virginia. She is passionate about connecting people with their environment. 

I became an educator because I love learning, and I'm on a mission to ensure that all students have access to engaging, experiential, and culturally responsive learning opportunities that help them find their sparks. I believe that learning should foster awe and wonder and strengthen connections to ourselves, the land, and each other. It should be place-based, interdisciplinary, and driven by learners' own curiosities. I have a comprehensive background in outdoor and environmental education, project-based pedagogy and design thinking, and in leading professional development on a variety of topics.

I am a returning student interested in environmental studies.
