Linda Ciotti

Linda became an FFMR Volunteer Naturalist in 2003 when she and her husband Tom took the docent training class, and they joined the Board of Directors that same year.  She grew up on the east coast of Virginia and arriving in the Bay Area in 1976 was surprised to find such dramatic differences in the two coastlines.  Having always been a water enthusiast and nature lover, she was pleased to find an organization with such a great group of like-minded people.  FFMR has so many opportunities for volunteers and being able to share the wonders of the intertidal with students of all ages has been very rewarding.  In 2005, Linda assumed the responsibilities of managing FFMR’s annual volunteer naturalist training classes and did that for about 10 years, and has been serving as Volunteer Coordinator since 2008.   She continues to lead tours at FMR and especially enjoys meeting students who are visiting the ocean or walking on a beach for the first time.  Seeing their amazement and joy at such an experience is always a pleasure.
