Project Description
Ms. Madrid received her B.S. in environmental sciences from the University of Notre Dame in 2015 and will have earned her M.S. in marine science from the University of Texas Marine Science Institute in 2021. Her graduate research focused on evaluating the impact of local, long-term monitoring at the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR), particularly how coastal wetland plants are responding to changes in climate and how managers use this long-term information to make decisions. Prior to graduate school, Miranda gained experience in the non-profit sector, honing her project management abilities and leadership skills at the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) in Fort Worth, TX and at The GrowHaus in Denver, CO. These experiences continue to influence her interest in community engagement and commitment to service. She currently serves on the Notre Dame Women Connect Newsletter Team and the National Network for Ocean and Climate Change Interpretation’s (NNOCCI) Communications and JEDI Committees. A native Texan, Miranda is interested in tackling issues with a social justice lens and promoting science that impacts Gulf Coast communities.
