Mina’s favorite childhood memories are in her Laguna Beach backyard hanging out with her chickens and ducks, and spending summers in Mammoth Lakes with her biologist parents. She still tries to get outdoors every day, and when she does, she is always listening for birds. A former urban planner, she is now directing her public engagement skills towards improving human relationships with nature. She hopes to see you at an ESBA tabling event and wants to hear about your latest bird or wildlife encounters!
