Born and raised in Costa Rica, I developed a passion for nature, which led me to earn a B.S. in Biology from the University of Costa Rica and an M.S. in Nat. Res. with an emphasis in Environmental Education and Interpretation from UW-Stevens Point. I am passionate about conservation and education. I'm part of the K-12 Education team at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology.

Green Ummah is a nationally incorporated non-profit organization seeking to create an environmental and environmental justice movement within the Muslim community. Green Ummah was created in 2020 by youth advocates for the environment who found a gap in the Canadian Muslim community as it pretains to environmental consciousness. Since our inception, Green Ummah has expanded the team to include four coordinators, amassed a volunteer base of 40+ volunteers across the country, and built strategic partnerships with organizations such as Nature Canada. We hosted Canada’s first Muslim-organized environmental conference in 2020 and launched the first-ever ready to teach curriculum focused on Islam & the Environment and Environmental Justice (The Greening our Communities Toolkit).

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.

I am traineds as a conservation biologist, but for most of my career I have developed curiculum on climate change, ecology, and life science; research teaching and learning in science classrooms; and am currently conducting enthnographic studies of vernacular science in the communities around me.  My theoretical stance is sociocultural, informed by John Dewey and Lev Vygotsky.

I am a certified KY teacher working at Southern Illinois University on my PhD. I reached candidacy in spring of 20 and am currently working on my dissertation. I am certified Elem., EE, Special Ed., Ed. Tech, and Teacher Leadership. I have had the opportunity to learn under Dr. Joe Baust.
