About

My work focuses on wildlife monitoring, road ecology, community engagement, and fostering best management practices with local cattle ranchers and private landowners in Northern Sonora.

I have worked to facilitate Sister Park relationships in the US-Mexico borderlands for the past 5 years. Assisting in the sharing of information, experiences, challenges, equipment, and resources, between 11 US and Mexican National Parks.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology with a focus on terrestrial resource management from the University of Sonora. I’m a certified wildlife tracker, Ambassador for the Women for Wildlife Latin America Chapter, and a member of the IUCN Transboundary Conservation Specialists Group. I love monarch butterflies and nights serenaded by coyote songs!
