Aimee (she/her) joins ETC with a strong regional network of colleagues from her tenure at the Estuary & Ocean Science Center, San Francisco State University and SF Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve. There she focused on science communication, coastal training and collaboration, and stewardship of wetlands around the SF Estuary. She graduated from the University of Colorado, Boulder with a B.A. in Environmental Conservation which led to many years of leading environmental education and sea kayak guiding up and down the coast from Alaska to Mexico. This new role will bring her back to her roots of outdoor adventure combined with her passion for supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility. In her free time, she loves traveling and being in the great outdoors, with family, friends, and dog in pursuit of all things botanical and water related. She is excited to lead ETC into the next era and hopes to spend a lot of time getting to know the many facets of the ETC family.
