Originally from Paraguay, Cindy joined the WHSRN Executive Office—housed within Manomet’s Flyways Program—in 2025.
She has over nine years of experience promoting environmental education and scientific outreach and has led projects with rural communities, indigenous peoples, and the productive sector.
Before joining the team, Cindy worked to conserve key bird sites as Communications and Society Coordinator at Guyra Paraguay, a BirdLife International partner, where she promoted social marketing initiatives. She also developed social monitoring plans for carbon projects (REDD+) and worked as a social specialist on initiatives with VCS and CCB certifications. Cindy has coordinated communication strategies within tri-national and multi-sector networks, such as the Tri-national Atlantic Forest Restoration Network and the Pantanal Observatory, and designed campaigns to promote sustainable tourism for government agencies, including Paraguay’s National Secretariat of Tourism.
Cindy studied Communication Sciences with a focus on journalism at the National University of Asunción, complementing her studies with training in scientific writing and project management. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor sports and bird watching, as well as being an enthusiastic nature photographer.
