Mary Simun, a Los Angeles native, relocated to the South Bay in 1997. She “retired” from the classroom in 2015 and has redirected all her resources into community service. Her continued mission on planet Earth is to inspire humans to experience a life-long love of learning, discovery, curiosity and child-like wonder, and immersing young people in nature to combat Nature Deficit Disorder.
She began her formal education career at age twelve at the Cabrillo Marine Museum under the tutelage of John Olguin and from that point forward, education and science always went hand in glove. She is passionate about this planet and her current personal goal is to become 100% fossil fuel independent.
