Hi! I’m Paz, a 27-year-old queer climate organizer, and social anthropologist from Argentina. I lead programs at Jóvenes por el Clima Argentina (Youth for Climate Argentina), where I blend education, community organizing, and climate justice to empower youth and vulnerable communities. From co-founding a solar energy project in a marginalized neighborhood to launching a national school for young environmental educators, I turn climate concepts into tools for action, leadership, and green jobs.

I'm currently the Director of Adult and Family Education at the Chincoteague Bay Field Station in Wallops Island, VA. I have a strong background in outdoor recreation and education, environmental education, and experiential education. My greatest passion is outdoor accessibility for all (and dogs)!

Currently, I work for the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources in Pennsylvania as a Park Resource Ranger. I can do a variety of tasks within this position, anywhere from educational programs, providing and fielding questions by the general public, campground permits, maintenance, and clerical work. I am a CIG (certified interpretive guide) through NAI (National Association of Interpreters). & I obtained certification through BSA (Boy Scouts of America, now known as Scouting America) for ecology & conservation directing. Goals include recreation programs/guiding experiences, natural resource management, and a long-term goal of mine is to become a park manager/director. 

When I am not busy working, in my free time, I love to fish, volunteer at the local fire department, garden, and visit with family and friends. I am currently in grad school pursuing dual degrees in park resource management (Master of Science)  and environmental education (Master of Education). 

With over 20 years of experience as an outdoor educator and a background in Environmental Education and Conservation Biology, I’ve taught in diverse settings—from U.S. nature programs to cheetah conservation work in Kenya. In 2019, I founded the National Outdoor Learning Alliance (NOLA) in Boise, Idaho, where I serve as executive director. Through programs like EverWild Forest School, NOLA empowers children to thrive through place-based outdoor education. I'm also a speaker, business coach, and passionate advocate for equitable access to nature.
