She went on to UC Santa Cruz for her PhD, focusing her research on the federally threatened California red-legged frog populations at the reserve and throughout the watershed. After graduating from UC Santa Cruz in 2007, Nina began coordinating freshwater restoration efforts on ESNERR and ESF lands, as well as continuing to monitor local amphibian populations and conduct applied research on amphibians and beyond.
