Isidora moved from Chile to the States to continue her environmental studies!

Isidora currently lives in Gainesville, Florida. She’ll be attending the University of Florida next semester for her master’s in Forest Resources and Conservation. In her home country of Chile, Isidora worked as an environmental activist and conservation professional upon witnessing the effects of climate change on her country. When she moved to the United States to pursue her studies, she wanted to continue her involvement in climate work. Isidora found CCL and immediately knew it was a place she could take action and a way to meet others with similar values.

As a Chapter Development intern, Isidora works with general organizational tasks for CCL. Her and her co-intern, Cristine, are also working to reactivate CCL’s University of Florida chapter as a common passion project. Besides her work in Chapter Development, Isidora is a member of the Latino Action Team. She assists with translating CCL materials and information sessions in Spanish. Isidora is passionate about the different ways to get involved with climate action. Most importantly, she wants to know the actions she can take in a new country where she’ll pursue her graduate studies.

Isidora is still getting involved back in Chile. Remotely, she collaborates with Ciem Aconcagua, a local NGO from Central Chile that supports conservation initiatives within farm communities. When she’s not supporting climate efforts both home and abroad, Isidora loves to skate and explore the outdoors. She is an avid movie watcher, her favorite director being Wes Anderson. She’s a huge cat lover, having two of her own—Ágata and Tomás. We have loved to see how Isidora has brought her passion and enthusiasm towards CCL!
