Yaasiel Leos Ledesma

La Colina Garden Intern (SBC)

I am currently  studying Environmental Studies with a previous education in Natural Science, and I have a special interest in climate, ecology and environmental impact on people and biodiversity as well as an interest in plant biochemistry, biology, ethnobotany, horticulture, agronomy and traditional ecological knowledge. In my previous role, I worked as a global R&D genetics technician for blueberries, and I am excited to help students explore connections between plants, people, and the environment!
