About Ali Ponko
I've recently immigrated to the Isle of Man from California to join my Manx husband and continue my career in conservation. I have a B.Sc in Wildlife Management and Conservation and an M.A in Biology with a focus on community-based conservation. I am all about creating space for nature-human connectedness through empathy and compassion.
My past work experience includes being a Nature Instructor in Monterey, California for an environmental nonprofit focused on low-income communities, as well as a Woodland Ranger on the Isle of Man where I managed a native tree nursery and a local woodland, providing tailored engagement opportunities. I most recently led the first green prescription programme on the island!
As I wait for my Spousal Visa to be approved, I am on the hunt for a new conservation opportunity! Let's connect :)
