Research assistant, Centro de Datos para la Conservación -CDC/CECON/USAC

Hi! I'm a Latin Biologist who loves nature; with experience in environmental education focused on children and young people. I work with amphibians and reptiles, specifically with salamanders and crocodiles. I like art and data digitalization. Currently working as an Ecologist at Centro de Datos para la Conservación - CDC CECON USAC.  Also, I have collaborated on a project on food security through insect consumption, working with indigenous women in the western part of my country.
I've worked in Accounts for a long time and have most enjoyed working in the non-profit sector.  Nature and conservation is really important and I want to contribute more.

Conservation Officer, RSPB

Conservation Officer for the RSPB Cambs/Beds/Herts area, appointed 2020. Working outside of our reserves to achieve conservation outcomes and support the progress of our Fens Priority Landscape aims. We focus on a few key priority habitats (predominantly wetlands and farmland) to increase the amount of land well-managed for nature (following the Lawton Principles of bigger, better and more joined up) to improve the status of a number of key species associated with these habitats (e.g., Turtle Dove, Black-Tailed Godwits). We work within and around our reserves with landowners / land managers - work of which I currently facilitate the Ely Nature-Friendly Farming Zone, a cluster group of nature-friendly farmers, and engage with and provide advice to our Operation Turtle Dove stakeholders creating or maintaining habitat for Turtle Doves. 2019 graduate from Bangor University with a first class degree in Zoology with Conservation, MZool (Cons) and an MSc distinction in Conservation and Land Management (MSc).

My background is mainly in species conservation, education and capacity exchange. I researched mother-young interactions in gorillas and chimpanzees, in captivity and the wild. After that, I worked for three years in Indonesia, where I developed and implemented youth ambassador and community engagement programmes on local and regional scales. I co-founded WildHub, a community of nature conservation professionals, in 2020 and work as their Community Lead. I am furthermore on the Advisory Board of the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology (DICE) at the University of Kent where I obtained my PhD on capacity development for conservation in 2022.
