We spent a couple of days at GuyExpo and it really was exactly what the name promises. All things Guyana, all things Expo, and a little bit of absolutely everything in between. I have been to a bunch of conservation-focused events since getting here and we have visited markets and smaller community gatherings, but this […]
Okay, saying that I am obsessed with Canva this year is one of those understatements. Last year I knew it, liked it, and was slowly getting into it. But now, as someone who grew up learning and working on Adobe, this feels like a real shift. Back then, Adobe was the only system anyone took […]
This week, we are thinking about biodiversity. Getting to spend some extra time in the Rupununi is always a treat. There is so much to see, and being able to explore a bit more of the tourism side of it gives a completely different experience. The major highlight this time was getting to do more […]
It is Diwali week here in Guyana, and I had a feeling it was going to be something special. That is why I suggested to my parents, my family, and my partner to come down and visit for this week. From the start of my time here, I have seen how vibrant Hindu celebrations are […]
We are safely back in Georgetown after what was honestly one of the highlights of the last year. The trip to Chile with the Trust team for the RedLAC Congress was an incredible experience from start to finish.

This week felt like a big one in so many ways. There was a lot of talk about all things Santiago, all things Chile, and all things conservation. I want to start with a big thank you to the team for including me as the temporary Communications Officer. It was a chance to assist from […]
Welcome back to what is turning out to be a very eventful September. We are keeping track of a lot, but the focus continues to be on conversations. Sometimes that means filming and listening to people speak about the challenges facing Indigenous communities. This week it means learning about conservation projects from around the world. […]
This week has been one of my favourites so far. I had the chance to spend time in the Rupununi at Karanambu Lodge, and I am very thankful to the owners, Ms Melanie and Mr. Ed McTurk, for hosting me and inviting me to contribute to some of their ongoing projects. In a way, it […]
When we talk about storytelling, we often focus on words, visuals, or voices. But there is another critical element that can strengthen a story: data. Analytics and measurement are the tools that allow communicators to show that what they are doing is not just posting random updates or creating content for its own sake. Instead, […]
Building Momentum We are keeping good momentum this week, whether it’s processes, projects, or just the day-to-day flow of work. It’s often the little things that keep me motivated, and I’ve been trying to pause and appreciate those wins. Every week brings new opportunities to learn, share, and contribute, and I find myself grateful for […]
