I never thought I would one day work in nature conservation. When I was little, I wanted to be a vet because I had a special connection with animals. But life took me down a different path. I grew up in Piura in northern Peru, surrounded by sun, sea and desert. There I learned to look at nature with wonder. Later, as a Girl Scout, I discovered that camping under the stars, listening to the sound of the forest or hiking together in community were not just great experiences, but lessons in respect, service and caring.

Although my professional career began in the field of culture and communication, nature has always been my refuge and inspiration. Today, at Wilderness International, I have found a place where I can combine these two passions: to communicate and to protect. I believe that stories have the power to awaken connections and that every story about the Amazon can remind us why it is worth protecting what gives us life.
