Mila considers herself lucky to have worked in many incredible and diverse locations but is loves that she gets to call the Sierra Nevada home. She's even more thrilled to continue working on its behalf supporting forest health in the Lake Tahoe Basin. When she’s working, you can often find Mila out enjoying her local National Forests with her husband and dog, working on her house in Reno, NV, or cooking up something to share with family and friends.
