Modibo Keita

Central Coast Project Associate

Modibo Keita (he/him) is a Project Associate for the Solutions in Our Soil Program. Prior to his current role, Modibo completed 2 years with Sustainable Conservation as a GrizzlyCorps Fellow. As a fellow, most of his work focused on analyzing water quality regulations and implementation of such policy including ILRP, CV-SALTS, and SGMA. Prior to joining Sustainable Conservation, Modibo received a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Resource Management from Penn State where he also played for the university’s rugby team.

A nomadic upbringing has made it tough for Modibo to call any one place home, but this has also helped him develop the capacity to adapt and feel comfortable anywhere. He grew up in Atlanta, DC, London, and Libreville, Gabon. However, his family now resides in Lagos, Nigeria. He is driven towards environmental work because of climate change and its consequences to food systems across West Africa and the world. Outside of work, Modibo enjoys watching or playing soccer and rugby, making music, biking around, and spending time in nature.
