Biography: I earned a Bachelor's degree in general agriculture from the Monterrey Technological Institute in Mexico and an M.S. from Texas A&M University. My Ph.D. is in both Forestry and Land Resources from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My doctoral research examined the interactions of federal, state, and local actors in the sustainable use and conservation of tropical forests by local communities in Quintana Roo, in southern Mexico. Worked previously in Washington, DC with several international environmental NGOs and in Wisconsin with the Wisconsin Coastal Management Program.
