Overview
Prior to law school I worked at el Yunque Rain Forest. I was part of a team that collected data to determine the effects of hurricanes, climate and land use to the rainforest ecosystem. After el Yunque, I was offered a Science Assistant position, at the National Science Foundation. Where I assisted visiting professors in the approval of grants of cross cutting scientific research. After this experience I decided to move back to Puerto Rico and attend law school, to become an environmental attorney. When I finished law school, I worked at the Caño Martín Peña Community Land Trust, an environmental justice project, which guarantees affordable homes, settle land tenures issues, and empowers the community.
