I have worked with the Panama-based conservation and education nonprofit Geoversity since participating in its first meeting in 2016. My primary work has been founding and running the Mamoní Valley Preserve Natural History Project, an ongoing research and education initiative documenting biodiversity in their Mamoní Valley Preserve in central Panama. This entirely student-organized initiative provides hands-on fieldwork experiences for early-career biologists from the US and Panama, while conducting detailed biodiversity surveys and producing educational materials for the preserve. We have documented hundreds of species and produced waterproof field guides and reference books sharing what we've learned. I have also been the primary fundraiser for this work, securing a grant from the Harvard University Herbaria, as well as generous private donations from supporters of the preserve to fund these expeditions. I've presented on this work at Geoversity symposia in Panama and the US.

In addition to the Natural History Project, I have served as the naturalist on two of Geoversity's Trans-Continental expeditions. And I am currently developing the ecology curriculum for Geoversity's field-based gap year program.

I co-founded and organized Harvard Conservation Book Club, a forum for undergraduate and graduate students at Harvard to read and discuss conservation-related literature from both academic journals and the popular press. We have engaged with a wide range of topics, from land protection, to environmental equity, to conservation communication strategies. You can find our bibliography here.
