Erika Bessler



Erika graduated from UC Davis with a B.S. in Environmental Science and a minor in Education. Combining her love of nature and teaching children, Erika held several undergraduate summer camp and environmental education positions that solidified her skills in public speaking, program coordination, and interpretation. Post-grad, she excitedly returned to her Bay Area home to intern with San Mateo County Parks as an Interpretive Specialist, where she led classroom programs, hikes, and outreach events. Erika served as our Summer Programs Coordinator, helping plan and implement the 2025 Marsh-in Summer Camp, and is now continuing as one of our Interpretive Associates.
