After spending her childhood exploring the open spaces of Marin, Fiona earned her B.S. in Environmental Management and Protection with a minor in Environmental Soil Science from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. She is an aspiring soil scientist who has dedicated time to planting and monitoring Sierra blue oak restoration, investigating the mineralogical properties of California rangeland soils, encountering giant mosquitoes and frozen soils in Alaska, and studying sediment delivery from rangeland gullies. In her spare time, you might find Fiona perusing local farmers’ markets, admiring exposed soils, or working on a new culinary craft. She is excited to return to her Marin roots to empower landowners in achieving their visions for the future of Marin’s working lands and to continue fostering relationships with MRCD’s communities of practice.
