The UCLA/Getty Conservation Program welcomes Lisa Imamura

The UCLA/Getty Conservation Program welcomes Lisa Imamura! Lisa is a Research Associate for the Andrew W. Mellon Opportunity for Diversity in Conservation. Below is a short bio!  “I grew up on Áak’w Kwáan Aani, and my combined interests in natural science and cultural heritage led me to conservation. My hometown is off the road system, so it was a big adjustment to move away to bigger, interconnected cities for study and work, but I enjoyed – and continue to enjoy – meeting new people and hearing their stories. Alongside conservation, I assist members of the public at the local library, support former refugees through resettlement, and volunteer at a native plant nursery. I trained in objects conservation at Queen’s University in Ontario, Canada.”
