Alexandra Panarra

I grew up all over California, spending much of my time hiking and exploring the outdoors—experiences that fostered a deep appreciation for the state’s diverse landscapes. This passion led me to join the California Conservation Corps, where I served as a Crew Leader on conservation and trail projects, including a unique opportunity to teach conservation practices and work on trails in Greece, on Mt. Olympus.

After my time with the CCC, I worked on the Marin Municipal Water District lands on Mt. Tamalpais, where I continued to develop my skills and deepen my connection to the area. That experience inspired me to become the Trails Coordinator, a role in which I now help care for these special places so that I—and others—can continue to enjoy them.
