Yale Program on Climate Change Communication

Laura is a Master of Environmental Management student at the Yale School of the Environment and a Fulbright Fellow. She’s interested in addressing the intersection of conservation, rural development, outdoor access, and climate resilience through collaborative and multi-scale approaches that bridge the natural and social dimensions of conservation. During her time at YSE and besides climate communications, Laura has worked on forest collaboratives and habitat connectivity in the Northern Rockies, rangeland monitoring for regenerative grazing in the Great Plains, sustainability consulting, quantifying the effects of environmental rollbacks on Indigenous communities in Canada, and characterizing equitable partnerships in private land conservation. Before coming to Yale, Laura worked in outdoor, science, and environmental education for very diverse communities in India, Canada, and Bosnia & Herzegovina, where she learned about the importance of delivering environmental messages to a broader audience that is at the core of YPCCC’s mission. She holds a BSc in Biotechnology from the University of Oviedo in Spain.
