My skills quickly develop while working my internship at the San Luis National Wildlife Refuge Complex. I have started a video segment series in English and Spanish for the refuge complex’s Facebook page, to teach our followers about the species that thrive off of the habitat.

I started my job/internship search after getting my bachelor’s degree, and as a small-town girl, I was expecting a long commute to my future job. With hard times during this election year and the economy, I decided to live with my parents and save instead of struggling to live in a major city without a stable job.

My name is Laura Albornoz and I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley. I got a B.S. in Genetics and Plant Biology. During my time at UC Berkeley I did research with Elena Stacy on agricultural colonization of Latin America by Mennonites and their effects on politics, economies, and social dynamics. I am also a photographer and love to cook.
