Conservation & Impact

I worked closely with the National Geographic Society, National Geographic Partners' nonprofit counterpart, to connect creative storytelling with scientific exploration and conservation.

This included helping develop a multi-special partnership with Pristine Seas, the Society's global ocean conservation initiative dedicated to protecting vital marine ecosystems. I also served as a key liaison with the Society, identifying opportunities to develop new content around its conservation initiatives and connecting our natural history productions with Explorers and scientists who could contribute their expertise both on camera and behind the scenes.

I also led our team's nominations for the Society's Wayfinder Awards for 4 years, identifying promising candidates, writing and submitting applications, and cultivating relationships with Explorers and conservation leaders. Four of our nominees were ultimately selected as Wayfinders.
