About me
"Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow know what you truly want to become." - Steve Jobs
Hi, I'm Claudia.
I grew up exploring the concrete jungle of southern California where I would spend most of my time outside reading about animals in order to understand how to protect them. My interest in science and conservation led me to pursue a degree in Earth Systems, Science and Policy from the California State University at Monterey Bay. Since being in Monterey, I've held various informal science education positions, allowing me to draw upon my experience as a bicultural Latine to communicate science and conservation with the local community. I currently work as the Sustainability Manager at the Monterey Bay Aquarium where I focus on employee behavior change, corporate social responsibility, and reducing our carbon and waste footprint.
In my spare time, you can find me exploring the outdoors, admiring mushrooms, birding, hiking, running and sometimes kayaking. I like sharing my experiences in nature with friends and family.
