I am a Science Communicator with a big passion for connecting people back to their inner-child's wonder for wildlife. I believe that everyone deep-down has a love for animals, and I want to help them find it! My skills include content creation, brand strategy, short-form video production, social media marketing, and visual storytelling. Motivating my growth in all these skills is my passion for what I do. Long story short, I love animals and I love talking about them! I enjoy working with conservation organizations to expand their reach and impact through Reels, carousels, TikToks, email marketing, and print designs. If you have a project that you feel I could be a valuable addition to, I would enjoy connecting with you and discussing new opportunities for science communication and visual storytelling.

I am a dedicated project coordinator with a strong background in skill development and livelihood projects, currently based in Jharkhand, India. With a Master's degree in social work, I have spent several years working in various community-focused initiatives, aiming to uplift and empower individuals and communities. However, my true passion lies in the wild, and I have an ardent desire to embark on a career dedicated to wildlife conservation. At 36 years of age, I am eagerly looking forward to combining my skills and experience with my love for the natural world, to make a meaningful contribution to wildlife preservation and protection.

With a solid background in conservation and protection of Protected Natural Areas, I have extensively worked in the field within the National System of Protected Areas and the Protected Areas System of the Province of Salta. My direct involvement in the declaration and establishment of seven protected areas within the Provincial System, as well as the designation of a natural monument, has allowed me to take on management and leadership roles both within the Provincial System and the Provincial Park Ranger Corps. Throughout my career, I have led the coordination of management tools and projects, in addition to possessing the ability to teach and train personnel in my area of expertise. My deep understanding of biodiversity conservation and management policies underpins my commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development. I am eager to continue collaborating on initiatives that promote nature conservation and the well-being of local communities.
