Management Team
LAURA LIERAS - TERRAIN MANAGER AND EL JARDIN MANAGER
Hi! I’m Madison Lawrence - a SCUBA MSDT instructor, teacher and new mom of twin girls! I’ve traveled extensively for both exploration and diving, I’ve worked with a team to disentangle whales, spent many hours in a lab researching plankton and most recently teaching others to scuba dive! Encouraging others to be involved with the ocean in any capacity is my dream. As a past head teacher of San Diego with Tides turned to a co-manager of Lanterns Global, I am thrilled to continue sharing my passion with our communities!
Terrain OC
Ana Rubio - Terrain OC Head Teacher
Hola! I am Maestra Ana. I grew up in a small city in México where my love for language, learning, and the outdoors started when I was a kid. I have a bachelor’s in Speech-Language Pathology and am currently in grad school—I've worked with all ages, but little ones are my favorite!
I love teaching Spanish through play, nature, and connection. Outside of school, you’ll find me hiking, biking, or paddleboarding with my husband and our adventurous pup Pinky—whose stories I love sharing with my students!
Mabel Martinez - Terrain OC Head Teacher
I am a native Spanish speaker, born in Mexico, graduated at CSUN with BA in Deaf Studies, with the goal to in the future become an ASL interpreter. I love to dance and sing to music so concerts are a big part of my life! If I’m not hiking, I’m reading a book!
Danielle Gullifer - Terrain OC Assistant Teacher
Hello! My name is Danielle. I grew up in Orange County and nature has always been an aspect I’ve connected to. I have experience instructing in all kinds of settings, whether it be on a farm with animals, in a classroom, or building robots and watching them come alive. I love exploring and I’m excited to be a part of that journey with kids- seeing their faces light up when they discover something new about themselves and the world around them! When I’m not teaching I love to dance or get lost in a novel.

ANAI LARRIVA CASTRILLON - Terrain Carp Head Teacher + EL JARDIN CARPINTIERA PRIMARIA HEAD MAESTRA
Hi! My Name is Sabrina La Rue and I am excited to be the head teacher for the Tides program in Palos Verdes! I grew up in the South bay and love the outdoors! When I'm not at work, I enjoy hiking, camping, snorkeling, and tidepooling. I'm often seen with my binoculars around my neck watching for whales and birds, or with my pocket microscope crouched over some algae or small animals on the rocks! I earned my bachelor's degree in Marine Biology from California State University Long Beach, and for the last few years I have worked as an Outreach Educator at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium in San Pedro. I love meeting new people and I look forward to meeting the students that will be joining the program!
