Tracy Quinn is a licensed civil engineer who started her career designing water and wastewater systems, followed by over a decade working on urban water policy at NRDC where she co-authored the first policy paper on PFAS in drinking water. As the President and CEO of Heal the Bay, Tracy leads a dynamic team of scientists, policy experts, and educators to protect and restore coastal waters of Greater LA.

Tracy Quinn also co-chaired the 2025 Blue Ribbon Commission on Climate Action and Fire Safe Recovery Water Working Group, leading the effort to design critical water protection and reliability measures that will curb climate-related water impacts and pollution and increase fire resilience in high risk communities. This includes solutions focusing on the protection of waterways and infrastructure from climate pollution, the implementation of robust water safety testing plans, the creation of climate-resilient water infrastructure, and the ways to ensure firefighters have the water they need.

Annelisa Moe

Associate Director of Science & Policy, Water Quality

Annelisa Moe holds a Master’s of Science in Geology from CSU Northridge, where she studied environmental impacts of global climate fluctuations. Annelisa then worked with the CA Regional Water Quality Control Board, before joining the team at Heal the Bay in 2018 as a Water Quality Scientist focused on stormwater pollution. Currently, as the Associate Director of Science and Policy at Heal the Bay, Annelisa oversees science programs like the Beach Report Card and River Report Card, and uses those data to advocate for comprehensive and science-based water quality regulation.

Onja Davidson Raoelison

Associate Research Specialist – Wildfire Fellow

Onja Davidson Raoelison is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Stanford King Center on Global Development. She earned her PhD in Environmental Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, and holds a joint MSc in Environmental Engineering from UCLA and Civil Engineering from ESTP Paris. Her research focuses on the connection between wildfires, the environment, and human health, with the goal of building wildfire-resilient communities. Previously, her PhD research at UCLA investigated the impacts of wildfires on water quality and developed green infrastructure to mitigate these effects. At the Stanford School of Medicine, her current work aims to understand the health impacts of environmental exposures from wildfires. With 7 years of wildfire research experience, Onja frequently serves as a peer reviewer for wildfire-related publications and grants. Her work has been recognized by prestigious organizations such as the American Water Works Association and the American Society of Civil Engineers, featured in local news, and recently honored with the 2024 Women in Science Incentive Prize.
