Conservation

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a deep commitment to conservation efforts, beginning with my internship at the Toucan Rescue Ranch in Costa Rica. During this time, I leveraged social media and digital fundraising to financially secure new security measures for the organization.

 

Since then, I have continued to collaborate with and work for various wildlife nonprofits, using my marketing, photography, and videography skills to raise awareness for endangered and at-risk species such as sloths and the black-footed ferret.
