I’m excited to be an ambassador for Latin@ Conservation Week! I feel in love with the outdoors as a young girl when I went camping for the first time with the Girl Scouts of America (I sold enough cookies to pay for the camp!). Later on, in college, I participated in an outdoor education program that connected me deeply to nature. This connection to the outdoors as been life-renewing. My hope is to connect more Latin@s into the outdoors. While not hiking, camping or paddling, I manage an emergency family shelter.
