Our Team

The development and maintenance of the content of this website are largely thanks to a team of people who seek to best share resources, materials, and opportunities with others interested in birds, their conservation, and participatory science. Find out who we are in this gallery!

Present

  • Cassandra Nunez

    Hi, my name is Cassandra, and this handsome bird is Pancho! I am a third year Cornell student studying Applied Economics and management. I am grateful to be working with the Educational and Outreach Initiatives for Latin America & The Caribbean because it has allowed me to combine two of my passions, being involved in my community and birds.

  • Debra Nero

    Hi! My name is Deb. I retired from Cornell University 5 years ago after 25 years of teaching Genetics. I garden, hike with my dogs, and also volunteer for a group that takes care of 1,000 miles (1600 kilometers) of hiking trails in my area. All of this lets me appreciate nature, be in nature, and help nature and the environment.
