Kelly Braga, originally an East Coaster, has been calling Los Angeles her “habitat” for over 4 years.  From a very young age, her family instilled in her a great passion for wildlife, the environment, and science through hiking and camping trips, as well as lots of other “backyard” experiments. Today, with a Bachelors degree in both Japanese and Anthropology and a Certificate in Zoology, she is able to put her passions to work as Environmental Educator at The Children’s Nature Institute.
