MEET THERESA
After getting a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology / Neuroscience from UC Berkeley, Theresa settled in Yosemite on what was meant to be a rock climbing sabbatical in April 2003. Then, as Lee Hayes would put it, that sabbatical turned into a Mondical and a Tuesdical. She and her husband have been living full-time in Yosemite ever since.
Over the years, she’s worked in various jobs for the concessioner and volunteered for NPS in both the Interpretation and Resource Management & Science (RMS) divisions. Despite nurturing a long-time love of creative expression, nature, and learning, she only seriously discovered nature journaling in 2023. Imagine her delight when she realized that it is a combination of all those things, plus a community filled with generosity, curiosity, and wonder. Inspired, she started the Yosemite Nature Journaling Group in September 2024, which meets monthly in Yosemite Valley and organizes occasional Field Trips to various parts of the park.
