As a biologist and the current Community Outreach Program Director at Macaw Recovery Network, I am deeply committed to leading communities in impactful parrot conservation efforts. My passion lies in connecting people with conservation initiatives, understanding that effective conservation is intrinsically linked to improving the quality of life for local communities. With a strong background in networking and communication, I excel at building relationships and presenting projects with clarity and enthusiasm. These skills have allowed me to represent our NGO internationally, successfully attracting donations and support. My strategic vision and expertise in project planning and management, guided by conservation standards, ensure that our projects are not only effective but sustainable. Beyond my professional life, I find joy and energy in the company of dogs and cats, and I am deeply interested in mental health and relaxation techniques, which I believe are essential for a balanced and fulfilling life.
I am a science communicator - in the early part of my career but learning quickly.
My main platform is The Curious Environmentalist but I also have a personal website and I have recently started a newsletter on Substack.
I currently write and do podcasts, but I am hoping to expand into videos too. My whole ethos is about making science accessible to anyone who is curious.
I'd love to connect!
