Field Scientist

Samantha developed a passion for botany and wildlife at a young age. She grew up in the high desert of Southern California and later moved to far Northern California. There she studied Environmental Science with a focus on Education and Interpretation at Humboldt State University. After graduating she had several jobs in outdoor education where she shared her love for the outdoors with both kids and adults. In 2020, she landed an internship with the National Park Service conducting invasive and rare plant surveys in Thousand Oaks. She started her consulting career in 2021, conducting nesting bird surveys and pre-construction surveys for special-status species. As a biologist she enjoys learning more about the wide array of plant and animal life in California.
