Work with thought leaders and academic experts from College of the Holy Cross

For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about environmental conservation. Growing up in Peru, I was exposed to some of the most biodiverse places on the planet. From a young age I was intent on protecting, conserving, and educating people about our environment. As I grew, my interest in conservation surpassed my national borders. <br> I have conducted quantitative analyses on illegal wildlife trade in the Amazon rainforest, performed fieldwork on the coexistence of livestock and wildlife in the Tarangire-Manyara region of Tanzania, and more recently examined the application of climate resilient management tools for fisheries in Antarctica. I have published research in several peer reviewed scientific journals including Science, Marine Policy, Ocean & Coastal Management, and Ecology and Evolution. I previously worked for Defenders of Wildlife in Washington D.C. as their International Conservation Associate and more recently for the Governors’ Climate and Forest Task Force as a Research Consultant. I hold a Master’s Degree in Environmental Policy from the University of Colorado Boulder, and I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in Environmental Studies under the guidance of Dr. Cassandra Brooks. Some of the courses I have taken include: Environmental Science, Environmental governance, U.S. Environmental Policy, Environmental Decision Making, GIS, Environmental Economics, Sustainability Management and Environmental Finance.
