Mikayla graduated UC Davis with a degree in Wildlife, Fish, and Conservation Biology and a minor in Education. While at UC Davis, she interned with the Arboretum, planning and coordinating outreach events, and volunteered with Putah Creek Council, leading school groups around Lake Solano and teaching students about water quality, erosion, and the watershed. Mikayla enjoys combining her love for nature and wildlife with her love to teach. She believes a very important part of conservation is education because this will lead to a better understanding of the earth we live on and how to care for it. Mikayla loves inspiring students and the public to learn and explore in, what she calls “the best classroom there is,” the outdoors.
