Matea is a 2023 UC Santa Cruz graduate with a degree in Biology, focused in Ecology and Evolution. She joined the VWS team in the summer of 2023 as a Natural Science Discovery Camp counselor and now works as an alternative education instructor for the Teen and Teacher program. She is passionate about environmental conservation, outdoor education, fitness, and well-being. A native of Seattle, Washington, her interest in science was originally sparked by the greenery of the Pacific Northwest, but was greatly expanded upon after countless hikes and backpacking trips along the central coast of California. She recently moved from Santa Cruz to Monterey in pursuit of furthering her exploration of the Ventana Wilderness, and looks forward to continuing doing so with VWS.
