I born and rise in Bluefields, east coast of Nicaragua. I graduated from URACCAN University as an Agroforestry engineer in 2014. I have a Post-graduate diploma in International Wildlife Conservation from WildCRU, Oxford University. Since university, I have collaborated coordinating and executing research with Michigan State University and Panthera in my study area. Since 2016 I’m a conservation scientist associates with Global Wildlife Conservation working as a field coordinator for the Nicaragua Tapir Project. As a conservation practitioner, I use to work in conjunction with local indigenous and afro-descendant territories as well of regional authorities and local universities to execute local actions for the conservation of some of the last strongholds for biodiversity in the country.
