I am a nature lover. I enjoy taking hikes in the mountains and taking in the beauty of the natural world. I am life-long learner across all topics but especially in science-based topics.

Hello, I'm Sarah. I am currently enrolled in the Project Dragonfly Master's Program through Miami University of Ohio. 
The focus of my studies is on informal learning and the representation and engagement of biodiversity conservation. Through Project Dragonfly I have had many unique experiences with community-based conservation and have engaged in two Earth Expeditions. The first was to Baja California and the second was to the Western Ghats of India. Both are sites for UNESCO World Heritage for Culture and Ecology. Being able to take part in this program has allowed me to grow as a conservationist and educator. 

Hi! I’m Jimena, raised in Southern California with a love for nature and shaped by my family. I now call Alaska home, where I’m a part of a community seeking to build momentum for climate action. 

Previously, I’ve worked in fieldwork helping on avian research projects with the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service before working with the National Parks Service as a park ranger. At present, I’m a Digital Community Coordinator at NAAEE. When I’m not supporting our amazing eePRO community, you can find me reading, writing, doodling, or bicycling to the nearest coffee and tea place.
