Jondachi Fest co-organizer
Since I first went to Ecuador on a Fulbright grant in 2010, I've worked with the Ecuadorian Rivers Institute to help spread the word of the issues facing the country's watersheds. In addition to working as a professional educator and writer, I've been a river guide all my adult life. As a Master's student in Environmental Studies at the University of Montana, I helped the ERI organize the first Jondachi Fest and will continue to advocate for the free-flowing Jondachi.
