Environment

As a Research Assistant in William & 玛丽’s geoLab, I analyze satellite imagery to assess the environmental and community impacts of Chinese investment in Latin American copper mines. I use both my English and Spanish language skills to read news articles, webpages, and government publications, using what I learn to develop a narrative. I collaborate with other student researchers, as well as with our external partner – the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency – to complete this project. As a Sustainability Ambassador for William & 玛丽’s Office of Sustainability, I assessed the resources available to students interested in green careers through Cohen Career Center during the Fall 2021 semester. In a classroom setting, I follow an interdisciplinary approach to learning about environmental issues, taking coursework in fields including sociology, Hispanic studies, geology, public policy, and government.
