Background
I’m passionate about advocating for the outdoors. I’ve served as a National Monuments Fellow via The Wyss Foundation and worked on initiatives to help marginalized communities have access to lands and waters. I currently am Executive Director of The Outdoorist Oath which works to create educational tools to help people be better allies for the people, planet and adventure.

Hiking and backpacking gear reviews with a sustainability focus.
About me
I’m a first generation Mexican-American and grew up visiting the Maya forest, which gave me a pretty big appreciation for land and wildlife from my early years. The work I do today comes from this background and intersects with the social and environmental issues that surround me today.
Why I care about what I do
Making the outdoors more welcoming for all is one of the main driving factors behind the work I do – whether that is working with non profits, sitting on inclusion focused councils or being an ambassador for organizations like Leave No Trace.
