MEET THERESA
Theresa Ho holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology and Neuroscience from the University of California, Berkeley, and has lived in Yosemite for over two decades. Her work in Yosemite spans many jobs, and includes volunteer work with the National Park Service in both Interpretation and Resource Management & Science, alongside a long-standing love of creative expression and learning.
In 2023, Theresa discovered nature journaling, a practice that brought together observation, science, art, and community, and quickly recognized its power. Inspired, she founded the Yosemite Nature Journaling Group, which meets monthly in Yosemite Valley and hosts field-based explorations throughout the park.
Theresa led two wildly successful public art workshops on nature journaling Nov 8 & 9, 2025. During the Art, Nature, & Wellness Program’s immersive cohort in March, 2026, she will offer Nature Journaling & Attention—a day of hands-on observation, drawing, and writing outdoors, exploring how close attention to the natural world can sharpen perception and open new ways of thinking.
