Born and raised here in Central Oregon, Ela has been fortunate enough to have spent a good chunk growing up exploring the outdoors. With a big interest in local flora and fauna, she loves watching, learning, and showing others how everything is interconnected, from the tiniest of bugs to the deepest of roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ela has been a child care provider for over ten years and has encouraged kids not to be shy about getting their feet wet and hands dirty. Working with Camp Chica has not only given her the ability to incorporate her current knowledge of local mycology, herpetology, and outdoor recreation into activities with students, but also learning from everyone else, both on the team and the campers. As a team member, it is extremely fulfilling to be able to see kids spend time learning and growing with the environment around them!<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":19733,"template":"","class_list":["post-19735","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
