My adventure towards nature started when I was a kid, growing up on horse farms and surrounded by the rural countryside. My connection to the natural world only grew stronger as I got older, and eventually, I decided to pursue my passion by studying at EARTH University in Costa Rica. It was there that I was first introduced to the incredible possibilities of bamboo.

After leaving EARTH University, I went on to earn a degree in Agronomy from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez. As I was nearing the end of my studies, I knew that I wanted to pursue opportunities within the US Department of Agriculture. Throughout my career, I have always enjoyed helping people improve their land and make the most of their natural resources. But above all, my true passion has always been working with bamboo.

Over the years, I have become an expert in the cultivation, harvesting, and use of bamboo. I have worked on a variety of projects, from developing sustainable bamboo farms to designing innovative bamboo-based products. Through my work, I have been able to help communities embrace the incredible potential of this versatile and sustainable resource.

My love for bamboo is rooted in its incredible strength, durability, and sustainability. Bamboo can be used to create everything from sturdy building materials to beautiful furniture and textiles. It is a fast-growing, renewable resource that requires very little water or fertilizer, making it an ideal crop for sustainable agriculture.

As I continue on my journey, I am excited to see what the future holds for bamboo and for sustainable agriculture as a whole. I am committed to using my expertise and passion to make a positive impact on the world and help others discover the many benefits of this amazing plant.
