About the Founder of PlasticMeNot

My passion for science education and marine conservation was first ignited while being an environmental educator at the Wetlands and Marine Science Education Center at the Colorado Lagoon of Long Beach, CA. During my undergrad, I gained research experience by working in the Reproductive Biology & Shark Laboratories, as well as participating in the Japan-U.S. E.S. Morse Scholar Exchange Program my senior year.

I'll be starting Bren's Master of Environmental Science & Management program at UC Santa Barbara this September. I spent the last few years as OC Coastkeeper's Education Coordinator & a Tidepool Educator at Laguna Ocean Foundation, providing environmental science education. I use my platform to highlight how people can choose to make positive environmental impacts through daily actions by what we use & what we do. I encourage everyone to pick up 5 pieces of trash whenever they leave their front door to be part of the solution & inspire others to do the same.
