Leana is a successful Orange Curtain (County) escapist, who loved every minute of her Environmental Studies degree at San Francisco State University, including the year in Germany where she was schooled in (and by) hard science and engineering. With an academic and mental focus on sustainability and social justice, she’s more accustomed to urban agriculture projects and working with children than vertical mulching and hard-core habitat restoration. No worries – she’s excited and thankful for the opportunity to take on this adventure with the SCA, deepening her awe for the desert and seeing it change throughout the year. When she’s not nerding out on environmental issues, Leana’s many loves in life include cycling (bike rights!), singing, yoga, and making other people laugh.
