I help conservationists around the world design outreach and communication plans that motivate action & change. My methodology brings together best practices from commercial advertising, relevant theories from the behavioral & social sciences, insights from global consumer trends, and real-world conservation experiences. Offering: online workshops, online courses, and consulting services.
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.
Fire Island Conservation projects aim to empower communities with alternative income & protein sources to poaching. As conservation manager, I'm working to bring marine researchers to the island to establish studies that link to our conservation efforts and enhance community projects. I also manage social media content and write blogs for the projects.
I am a dedicated professional with excellent project management and stakeholder engagement skills, underpinned by strong attention to detail, a commitment to collaboration, and a can-do attitude. I have successfully applied my skills to support wildlife conservation and behaviour change projects, run professional adult education curricula, and develop and deliver startup accelerator programs. I am passionate about wildlife and the environment, and am committed to using my strengths to deliver positive impact for the natural world.

I am a Venezuelan biologist who has done little fieldwork, mostly dedicated myself to teaching science in the past. Currently working for this NGO I have given the opportunity to support with fundraising for their various projects. It is exciting to be part of Provita's mission and fulfill my life's purpose. I joined WildHub to strengthen my capacities and learn new skills so I can be of more help to conserve my country's wonderful nature and get involved in their programatic activities.
I want to find new ways to have a positive impact on the environment and communities around the world. How I do this is pretty open; I have wide-ranging interests (including the arts and spending time outside) and am willing to adapt to changing circumstances.
Although I've stepped back from being a community advocate for the WildHub community, I'm still happy to answer questions about the platform and will do what I can to help connect people.
