Bio

Since I was young, I have been passionate about science and the environment. However, it wasn’t until I studied at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, that I realized I could address these aspects through journalism —a tool that connects information to society to generate responsible social actions. With that in mind, I completed my bachelor’s degree in Journalism with a second major in Physical and Environmental Geography in 2023, a combination driven by my desire to understand the human relationship with nature and communicate it effectively to others. Following my graduation, I was determined to continue studying, and after a long time searching for graduate programs aligned with my interests, I found the Climate Change & Society master’s program, and I thought: “This is it!”. Now, I’m filled with excitement for this new academic adventure and the upcoming learning opportunities. I believe the CCS program will be a rewarding experience that will significantly impact my goal of researching and communicating all that englobes the climate subject in an accessible and actional way. Particularly, for disadvantaged communities and in my first language, Spanish.
