Nina has been with the California Fire Safe Council since 2021. She started as an AmeriCorps fellow and joined our team as an Associate Grant Specialist after her service term concluded. Most recently, she assisted with leading our CAL FIRE funded County Coordinator grant program as a Staff Grant Specialist working with subrecipients across California. During her time as a grant specialist, Nina worked with over 20 subrecipients to support their wildfire mitigation and capacity building projects.
In May 2025, Nina completed her master’s degree in Geographic Information Science and Technology. Throughout her program she focused many assignments and her final thesis project on wildfire mitigation efforts for communities in California. We are excited that Nina will be joining our GIS and Data team as our GIS Specialist. Her background in environmental studies, GIS, and time working here at CFSC brings a wealth of knowledge to this team. She is looking forward to continuing her work with the County Coordinator Networking Portal project and new GIS efforts at CFSC.
Outside of work, Nina enjoys exploring new places, getting outside with her dog, and spending time with her family and friends.
