Andrea is from Paraguay, a country that she refers to as “the heart of South America”. She holds a bachelor’s degree in environmental sciences, a Diploma in Natural Resource Management and Conservation from the Autonomous University of Yucatán, and a Master’s in Media Psychology from the University of Salford Manchester (UK).

As Manomet’s Science Communication Manager, she works to ensure Manomet’s science content is accurate, accessible, and compelling. She leads the organization’s social media strategy and supports communications for the Western Hemisphere Shorebird Reserve Network (WHSRN). Her work highlights partner achievements, strengthens strategic engagement, and aligns storytelling with Manomet’s conservation goals.

She brings over 15 years of experience in wildlife conservation, built at the intersection of environmental science, ornithology, and digital communication. Her path began in 2008 at Guyra Paraguay, where she spent a decade supporting field work, waterbird censuses, supporting biological monitoring projects, and delivering environmental education in rural and indigenous communities. She also served as Communications Officer for WWF Paraguay, driving national campaigns on reforestation, freshwater protection, and forest conservation.

Before joining Manomet, Andrea worked for the World Land Trust as Social Media Officer. As a visual storyteller, she has documented conservation projects in Colombia and Paraguay, contributed to nature guides and photographic books, and has been teaching photography since 2009.

Passionate about connecting people to nature, Andrea uses evidence-based communication strategies to inspire action for conservation across the hemisphere.

Lily Green has recently joined Manomet as a Science Educator and will be working with the team in our educational programming and outreach, including our ongoing work with Brockton High’s Envirothon Team and the Green Team. As an alumnus of Brockton High School, she brings her experience working in both of those groups during her own high school tenure!

Lily earned her B.S. in Chemistry at UMass Lowell in May, 2020, and a M.S. in Environmental Sciences from UMass Boston in December, 2022. Her master’s thesis revolved around creating workshops with two underserved coastal communities in Massachusetts to identify their major environmental priorities, and how both their cultural values and relationships to their land shaped those priorities.

Outside of work, Lily enjoys figure skating, country line dancing, and reading. She’s excited to be outside teaching environmental-related lessons and learning about the land surrounding Manomet’s HQ.

Lisa Maciejowski has joined our Development Department as Development Assistant. An entrepreneurial fundraiser, she has created educational Donor Roundtables, launched Women’s Leadership Giving initiatives, and designed Foundation Trustee luncheons. As a former Senior Gift Officer, Lisa raised critical resources for human service organizations, museums, educational institutions, and ocean-related causes.

She earned her B.A. in Liberal Arts/Management from Providence College and a Master’s degree in Holistic Counseling from Salve Regina University. Her prior long-term career was in Property Casualty Insurance. Now semi- retired, Lisa enjoys oil painting, walking the beaches and bogs of Plymouth, traveling in the U.S. and Europe, fiber arts, whales and great white sharks, plus she frequently visits her son in Brooklyn, NY.  Hailing from a family of bird watchers, her favorites are ducks, the Snowy Owl, and Rose Breasted Grosbeak.  Lisa is thrilled to join Manomet and be part of a team that makes a global impact.

Jeisson joined Manomet’s Flyway Program in October 2023 as the Pacific South America Coordinator with the goal of supporting the implementation of the Pacific Americas Shorebird Conservation Strategy in Chile, Perú, Ecuador, and Colombia by building effective partnerships with local stakeholders and identifying linkages with national shorebird conservation plans in these countries.

Jeisson is a Colombian biologist from the Universidad del Valle who worked for more than 15 years with Asociación Calidris on various projects with shorebirds, seabirds, and endangered bird species in the Andes. During this time, he gained experience working with a wide range of stakeholders including communities, NGOs, governments, and the private sector. He has written conservation plans for threatened species and is the author of the Seabird Baseline Management Plan for Gorgona National Natural Park. He also led the design of a carbon-based project to support the implementation of conservation plans in the Andes.

Why Manomet?

I believe I can help support Manomet’s deep work: In science – to make well-informed, data-driven decisions; Towards mitigating climate change – because I believe it is the most significant threat to biodiversity; And in support of its DEIJ goals – because I believe in the value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in order to achieve lasting impacts in conservation and community well-being.
