Ernesto & Tonia

Hello! I’m (He/They) an incoming graduate student in the Natural Resources Department studying rangeland - grassland management and ecology that will start in the fall. I’m hoping to relocate sooner to start a temporary position before the school year starts.

I plan on moving in myself first and hoping my partner Tonia can join me in July. They are an afterschool teacher and loves being an educator. We both currently live in a queer oriented housing co-op with 12 other people in Santa Cruz. We both enjoy communal living and building a fun community with others! We’re both plant nerds, love spending time outside, cooking with others, being gay, and watching shows/movies or playing games with housemates.

We both have 3 adorable pet rats that we hope to join us too.
