I serve on the Executive Committee of DC Sierra Club (2024-2025) and as Vice President of the Barnard Elementary School Parent Teacher Association (2023-2025). I am a mentor in the Choose Clean Water Coalition’s Young Professionals of Color (YPC) mentorship program (2024).

From July 2016 – July 2023 I was Director of Conservation at Nature Forward, serving the greater Washington, DC region through environmental policy, advocacy, outreach, and stewardship. I then served as the co-chair of Naturally Latinos Conference 2024.

Prior to joining Nature Forward, I spent five years at Defenders of Wildlife, analyzing federal projects and policies that touched upon a broad range of renewable energy, land management, and wildlife conservation issues. Before working in environmental policy, I was an environmental and outdoor educator in Maryland, Massachusetts, Tennessee, and Oregon. I am a Senior Fellow (class of 2013) in the Environmental Leadership Program’s Chesapeake Regional Network.
