Originally from Kazakhstan, Alma moved to Texas to study Geology at the University of Houston. While there, she had the opportunity to visit parks like Big Bend, Glacier and Grand Canyon, which sparked her interest in the preservation of natural areas. Many years and dozens of parks later, she, along with her husband Spencer and her best friend Varunya, would set out to make a difference.
