Kristyn first experienced the Central Coast as an undergraduate at UC Santa Barbara, making trips to Morro Bay and Montaña de Oro. Her connection deepened when she returned as a Climate Fellow for San Luis Obispo County, before spending several years in the Long Beach and Los Angeles area. Now based in Ventura, the arrival of her daughter has strengthened her commitment to ensuring the next generation has ample access to natural spaces.
Kristyn is an environmental and climate policy professional with nearly a decade of experience in local and state government, including the Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation and the California Air Resources Board. She brings expertise in financial oversight, grant strategy, and public engagement, with a focus on ensuring programs are effective, equitable, and grounded in community needs.
She is excited to support CCSPA’s mission to protect and promote the Central Coast’s natural and cultural heritage, ensuring people of all ages can enjoy and care for the lands and waters that make the Central Coast special.
