Meet My Teammate, Alexis!

Have you traveled? Where have you traveled to?:

I have not been outside of Panama, but I have visited many of our national parks: Sobrenia, Campana, Parque Metropolitano, Isla Coiba and Panama's biggest national park, Darién. Darién was my favorite. One day, I want to travel to the United States and visit the Grand Canyon and Washington, DC. Brianna has convinced me to check out California, too. Spain, Italy and England are other countries I hope to visit.

What do you do for work?:

I am a biology student in my last year of college. Right now I am working on Barro Colorado Island as a research assistant. I think of myself as an "animal runner," because I have to follow the animals to download their information.

Is there anything else you would like to say to students in the United States?:

Save the planet! Enjoy nature, plants, animals... everything! There are many things in the world that we can enjoy. If you ever want to visit Panama, you are welcome here!
