Chapter Vice Chair
Andre Molga
Hey there, I'm Andre! I was born and raised in South Orange County, and I initially joined Surfrider while studying at UC Berkeley. I love to surf, and I joined Surfrider SOC because I want to give back to our local beaches and ocean, as they have given so much to me. Outside of surfing, I love traveling and listening to music. You can find me at concerts and festivals across California. I'm looking forward to meeting you at the next event!

Core Volunteer
Ocean Friendly Gardens Coordinator
Parisa Brumand
I hold a B.Sc. in Agricultural Engineering and an M.Sc. in Management Information Systems. I am passionate about nature-based solutions and environmental sustainability, focusing on sustainable landscaping and stormwater management. Motivated by Surfrider Foundation's Ocean Friendly Gardens program, I promote practices that protect clean water and support resilient ecosystems.
I am enthusiastic about designing drought-tolerant landscapes with native plants, implementing water-efficient irrigation systems, and incorporating features like bioswales to reduce runoff and enhance biodiversity. Through continuous learning and community engagement, I aim to reduce the environmental impact of landscape maintenance.
