Coastal Conservation | Spatial Analysis & Remote Sensing | Science Communication

I am a third-year student at Lewis & Clark College pursuing an interdisciplinary degree in Environmental Studies with minors in Earth System Science and Hispanic Studies. I am deeply passionate about coastal research and resilience, stemming from my upbringing on the island of Barbados. In my education and career, I focus on GIS, laboratory/data analysis, and outreach to apply scientific findings towards community impacts.
