Bio
Tiffany graduated with a BA in Environmental Science and Policy from the University of California, Irvine in 2025, with a specialization in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and a minor in Global Sustainability. Through coursework and projects that explored the intersection of environmental justice and resource accessibility, she became interested in using spatial tools to better understand the socio-political dynamics of environmental issues.
While at UCI, Tiffany worked at Orange County Coastkeeper and Newport Bay Conservancy where she focused on environmental education for Title 1 schools and habitat restoration in local estuaries. Leading water quality labs and organizing beach cleanups deepened her passion for protecting coastal and marine ecosystems through hands-on community engagement.
Now continuing her education at the Bren School, Tiffany plans to build on these experiences by specializing in Coastal Resources Management and Conservation Planning. Her goal is to develop equitable strategies for coastal resilience that prioritize the well-being of the ecosystems as well as the communities that depend on them.
