I’m Lissett and I’m thrilled to be joining SFS Panama as the Health and Wellness Manager. I grew up in Alexandria, Virginia, and hold a Master’s in Conservation Leadership. My background is in international development and conservation—managing projects and teams, organizing events, and supporting programs in climate and biodiversity policy, natural resource management, and community-based conservation across Latin America.

My passion for experiential learning started with my own study abroad, which sparked years of solo travel through Latin America, Asia, and Europe. My curious nature and bicultural background have allowed me to connect across cultures and create inclusive spaces in diverse settings—something I’m excited to bring to SFS students as they navigate their own field experiences.

In my free time, I love hiking, reading, curating playlists, and any “type 2” outdoor adventures.
