Renee Murphy
Formerly a business owner in the fashion industry, I made a conscious decision to redirect my career towards advocating for positive environmental change. Following my passion for sustainable gardening, I earned a master's degree in plant science/agriculture from Cal Poly Pomona and combined that with a bachelor's in entrepreneur business from the University of Southern California, setting off to work in the native nursery and restoration business.
As sales director of a prominent San Diego native plant nursery, I observed the need for native plant education to her community. I began presenting and teaching courses independently, through community nurseries and with the California Native Plant Society. In addition, I began ongoing restoration research with and indigenous tribal land establishing native trees on exposed playa near the Salton Sea.
My journey took a captivating turn when my research was noticed by an environmentally focused biotech company in the Bay Area. I had the opportunity to making a larger impact cleaning up contaminated sites using nature-based solutions and sustainable practices within the remediation industry as an environmental scientist. I have served as a project manager on sites implementing innovative nature-based sustainable solutions for contaminated, fire and salt impacted sites, utilizing cutting-edge endophyte-assisted phytotechnology.
In my current role as Sales Director of Intrinsyx Environmental, my journey weaves a fascinating narrative that bridges my diverse background with the mission of building an innovative biotech phytoremediation company using nature to heal our environment.
I have delivered impactful presentations to esteemed audiences, including NASA Ames Green Team, Sustainable Silicon Valley, Alaska Forum for the Environment, National Brownfields Training Conference, Sustainable Remediation innovation in Madrid, and an international keynote at NICOLA.org 2022 Resiliency, Nature & Climate Solutions in South Africa.
I continue to teach propagation and native plant workshops online and throughout the state of California empowering individuals to connect with their local ecosystems and promote biodiversity starting with their own backyard and communities.
Join me in the environmental revolution, and together, we can make a lasting impact on our planet. Let's connect and collaborate for a greener, more sustainable future. 🌍
