Board Secretary: Stephanie Cabral

​Hi all, I'm Stephanie Cabral, Secretary of the Board here at Throop.  Los Angeles born and raised, I am former pastry cook, a current a political science student and a proud Chicana.

My love of the redwoods and our other plant cousins brought me to Throop where I seek to nurture connection with all life on this planet of ours. When I am not buried in homework, you can find me  as a steward in the Throop Learning Garden covered in soil, trowel in hand or visiting the many gorgeous botanical gardens that Southern California has to offer.

 A quote that inspires me is from Star Trek: The Next Generation from Lt. Commander Data:

“It is the struggle itself that is most important. We must strive to be more than we are…. It does not matter that we will never reach our ultimate goal. The effort yields its own rewards.”
