Originally from the east coast, Brenna turned her love of the oceans into a 15-year career as a scientific and technical diving and earned a PhD from UC Santa Cruz in marine ecology. After deciding she wanted to be more involved in natural resource program management, Brenna went on to hold positions with the CA State Coastal Conservancy, BCDC, NOAA Office for Coastal Management, and California Sea Grant. She has now been at PG&E for the past three years as a climate change adaptation program manager with PG&E’s Climate Resilience Team.  

Brenna is an avid runner, hiker, traveler, and enthusiastic reader, and is a mom to two young girls.
