Marin is the Lower Mainland Facilitator of Learning at the Sierra Club BC. Her love for the environment was fostered at a young age by spending time outside exploring, hiking, kayaking, and observing nature. She is passionate about increasing accessibility to nature and knowledge about environmental conservation to build optimism for our future. She believes that place-based education and personal experiences in nature, especially for youth, play a key role in building awareness and responsibility for protecting our natural spaces.

Marin completed her degree in Natural Resources Conservation from the University of British Columbia, where she was fascinated by her classes on plant identification and ecosystem ecology. Marin has also worked as a resource teacher, and she adapts her workshops to meet the learning needs for students of all ages. In her role with the Sierra Club BC, she loves that she can combine her passion for environmental stewardship and education to provide accessible, informative, and engaging place-based workshops.

Marin currently lives in Vancouver on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) nations. Outside of work, Marin loves to salsa dance, try out new hikes in the local mountains, and work on one of her many knitting projects.
