Gina Roberti

Gina grew up exploring the wetlands and coastline of southern Rhode Island and then the rocky outcrops of New England through the study of earth science and geology at Brown University.

Gina’s passion for field-based education led her across the country, where she worked as a naturalist and educator in the Colorado Plateau, Snake River Plain, the Klamath-Siskiyou and the North Cascades. She received a Masters in education from Western Washington University in a joint program with The North Cascades Institute specializing in field based natural history teaching. Presently Gina works as the Youth Education & Rental Programs Manager at the Mount St. Helens Institute.

Gina’s deep immersion in the natural world began through in-person collaboration and shared time in the field. This inspires her to lead natural history classes to share her perspective and also to broaden and deepen collective interactions with the natural world.

You can most often find Gina enjoying the company of birds, foraging native foods, and riding her bicycle.
