Introducing our Student Coordinator!

This year we are excited to have the help of a Student Coordinator who participated in the 2017 MERO program. Guadalupe is a junior at Menlo-Atherton High School and was one of our most enthusiastic members last year. Guadalupe helps us plan all the activities and trips for the program, and also acts as a third teacher when we are in the field. When she graduates high school, Guadalupe hopes to go to college where she wants to study either ecology or linguistics. Here is what Guadalupe had to say about being a part of MERO science program for a second year: 

​"Hello my name is Guadalupe Garcia. I am a junior at Menlo Atherton High School. I participated in the MERO program last year and had a wonderful experience as I had the opportunity to see the animals very close in their natural habitat. I learned many things about the ecosystem and the animals in this program. It is worth mentioning that while I was learning something new I also had a lot of fun. Tyler and Ahzha are amazing people* because they speak two languages ​​and it is easy to communicate with the other participants of the program and help us inside and outside the program. This year I am the student coordinator of the program and I like it a lot because I can help others and give ideas for the activities of the program. I also like to be in this program because it will help me to be an ecologist."

* We promise we didn't tell her to say this! That's just how nice she is.
