Kathya E. Orozco Medina is an attorney based in San Francisco, California. Originally from Jalisco, Mexico, Kathya immigrated to the United States at the age of 17, settling in the rural landscapes of Mendocino County. The experience of navigating a new culture and language during those formative years shaped her deep commitment to equity, advocacy, and environmental justice for underserved communities. Kathya went on to earn a degree from the University of California, Berkeley, where she combined a passion for public interest law with a growing concern for the environmental challenges facing vulnerable communities. Today, as a practicing attorney, Kathya brings a legal perspective to the fight for climate resilience, equitable access to natural resources, and protection of frontline communities disproportionately affected by environmental harm. With lived experience as an immigrant and a personal connection to rural and urban California, Kathya is proud to support The Wild Farm Alliance’s work to advance environmental justice and sustainability for all.
