Conozca a nuestro equipo

Visions4Nature is a consulting group formed out of a mutual love for sea turtles and the people who protect them. Together, we have more than 20 years experience working in communities as educators, artists and journalists. These days we are joining forces to support local communities and organizations working to protect some of the world's most precious ecosystems by amplifying their stories related to climate change and conservation through art, journalistic reporting and educational workshops.

Teresa is an environmental journalist and reports globally on oceans, rainforests, animals and the people protecting them. Her stories have been published by The Washington Post, Bloomberg Green, NBC and the American Indian Magazine. She is also an educator and teaches courses on climate solutions journalism for The School of the New York Times. Teresa holds a master's degree in journalism from the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism and a bachelor's degree in international health and social work from LIU Global. She tries to spend as much time as possible in the water snorkeling, scuba diving, learning to surf, and practicing underwater photography. Her love for the water stems from kayaking and searching for fossilized shark teeth along the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay in Maryland.
