Hello! My name is Joia Fishman. I currently work as Nursery Specialist/Biologist for a local environmental consulting agency. I grow native California plant species and participate in wide variety of biological surveys.

I obtained my M.S. in the Environmental Studies department at San Jose State University in 2022. My research focused on the successional paths and resistance to invasion of two native plant assemblages on the Oro Loma Horizontal Levee at the Oro Loma Sanitary District in San Lorenzo, California. The Oro Loma Horizontal Levee is pilot project designed to treat wastewater, provide habitat, and protect from storm surges and sea level rise. More information on the project can be found here: https://oroloma.org/horizontal-levee-project/.
