Young sustainability professional. Amateur gardener. Hiking enthusiast.With a focus on environmental management and sustainable development, I dedicated my academic career to exploring innovative solutions that foster climate resilience and environmental justice. Professionally, I have contributed to impactful sustainability projects through extensive research and fostering community engagement. I am particularly proud of my work with the USDA Smart Ag Puerto Rico project, where I presented key recommendations for advancing sustainable agriculture among Puerto Rican coffee and cacao farmers. Simultaneously I have had the privilege of transforming ecological spaces, including the former Shawnee Bluffs camp into a botanical garden, by completing rigorous fieldwork and community service. My academic and practical experiences reflect a deep commitment to environmental and public stewardship that I am eager to apply in my future endeavors. I am excited to connect with professionals and organizations passionate about sustainability.
