National Geographic

The summers of 2015 and 2016, I backpacked with National Geographic through Ecuador, Argentina and Chile. I trained rigorously in photography and studied the harmful affects of tourism on native trips with anthropologists. My travels spanned jungles, volcanoes, mountains, swamplands, islands, snowed-over terrains, small towns and middle-of-nowheres. These ventures were perhaps the origin of my love for adventure, impactful research, authentic storytelling and photography.

In 2018, I was recruited for a team, along with 8 other students in my high school, to venture through Uruguay performing a study on environmentally renewable energy. Integrating physics, politics and investigative journalism, our team aggregated our research, which we did in Spanish, and met with the Uruguayan government’s Department of Energy heads to discuss our findings.
