She was also a sustainability planner in the San Francisco area, where she developed energy and water conservation initiatives and green infrastructure plans.
Bonnie’s life aquatic and interest in the natural world blossomed after her mom took her when she was five years old to see the grunion run along the beach at Cabrillo Marine Museum in San Pedro. Today, it remains one of the most magical events she has ever witnessed. She loves all things green, but when eating, prefers dark chocolate.
