Anna holds a B.S. in Biochemistry and a B.A. in Spanish from Colorado State University. She first came to the RCD as a GrizzlyCorps fellow, previously an AmeriCorps program run through the Center for Law, Energy & Environment at UC Berkeley. Throughout her undergraduate program, she developed a passion for natural science and sustainability and had multiple roles related to environmental outreach & education, as well as research positions focused on plant science. She also served with the Southwest Conservation Corps, another AmeriCorps program, where she gained skills in natural resource management and a deeper interest in forestry. She is thrilled to continue with the RCD as a staff member to coordinate forest management and wildland fire mitigation projects. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, running, climbing, and just about anything else that gets her outside.
