Academic Highlights

MS environmental science - Capstone project (Collaborative effort)

Suitability Analysis for Implementing Riparian Zones using GIS. The goal of this project was to help a nonprofit organization achieve its goal of reducing phosphorus in a lake/reservoir. This project located areas where riparian zones could be built or expanded to uptake excess phosphorus using a GIS model. Alongside this GIS model, a Story Map was created as an educational and informational tool.

Sustainable Development and Resources Adaptive Management in Costa Rica

This two-week abroad class enabled me to enhance my understanding of the cultural and ecological factors that drive the implementation of different approaches to manage natural resources in a developing country. I prepared, presented and led a discussion on an important Costa Rican environmental topic. In addition, my background and experience enabled me to serve as a bridge between the Latino and American cultures.
