Marina moved to San Francisco from Los Angeles to study at SFSU, graduating with a BS in Recreation, Parks, and Recreation Administration. Since then, she has developed her love for teaching outdoors by working for the National Park Service as a Environmental Educator at the park's Native Plant Nurseries, then as a garden science instructor for Education Outside at two local SF elementary schools. Marina brings a passion for learning about plants and understanding the biodiversity of our SF environments to her teaching while out on trail. When she is not working at the ESC you can find her gardening, hula hooping, and fire dancing.
