Ella has been passionate about environmental protection since she was a young girl growing up in Ojai, California. Her love for the natural world sparked her involvement with various nonprofits in both San Luis Obispo and her hometown. Ella has served as Education Lead for the Surfrider Foundation and held the roles of Media and Communication Intern and Coordinator for the Turtle Conservancy. Ella recently graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with a B.A. in English, a certificate in Technical and Professional Communication, and a minor in Italian Studies. Her experience working with environmentally focused nonprofits has cultivated a deep love for the Central Coast and she is stoked to contribute to CCSPA’s mission by promoting community awareness and stewardship of local State Parks. In her free time, Ella loves hiking, reading in the sun, playing guitar, and diving into new creative projects.
