Najia Cherif / “Nightcrawer Najia” 

Najia launched into her role as a Tree Frog Treks naturalist in the midst of the pandemic. With a background in childcare, Nightcrawler Najia is currently pursuing a degree in Animal Biology with the hopes of receiving a DVM in the prospective future.  As a San Francisco native and environmental enthusiast, in her free time she likes to discover new places to hike while researching about the different species of flora and fauna in the area. You can also find her assisting with animal care and hanging out with our beloved Tree Frog Treks animal ambassadors.

Throughout the years, she has guided countless amounts of hikes, school visits, outdoor events and camps with Tree Frog and is now emerging as the new camp director for Christopher Playground. With this upcoming summer being her third consecutive year at Christopher park, she is eager to create a positive space for kids to have fun, make bonding memories and of course, Get out and get Dirty!
