About
I am a passionate young woman pursuing Horticulture. I believe that the beauty of this world comes from its breathtaking wildlife and biodiversity. I am a proud C.H.A.N.C.E. Fellow and advocate of conservation biology. I have studied and worked with different organizations to protect the environment, natural resources and biodiversity. I hope that my contributions will help create a future where all inhabitants of the world can live together in balance.
"You will not conserve what you do not care about; and, the more you know the more you care," Smithsonian Tropical Research Scientist, John H. Christy.
