I wanted to highlight and spread awareness on the negative effects plastic has on humans and our ecosystem No matter how small a change is, it is still a change, and can cause a ripple effects that can protect the lives of many marine animals, and our earth. I hope my video inspires you.

Corals are disappearing at an unprecedented rate. I was inspired by the Chasing Coral documentary and wanted to write a poem that illustrates the the beauty and importance of coral reefs. It is not too late to save them and I wanted to educate the public about this incredible ecosystem.

My motivational poem uses phrases such as, "me or you?" These phrases are set to represent how serious plastic pollution is. I wanted to really touch base on how the ocean used to be painted as a gorgeous blue body and now it has "objects" that inhibit its beauty.

This video shows the process of coral bleaching and how they might feel going through it. I created it to show a more human aspect of what they might be going through my love of makeup. I hope people begin make proactive choices for coral protection. Coral reefs need your help. You may be their last hope.

I am a huge advocate for "the power of one". That basically means that I believe that any individual can make an impact on whatever issue they are passionate about, no matter how big or how small the action is. This video explains what food waste is and shows stats of food waste and its impacts around the globe.

I was inspired by the documentary “Artifishal” and wanted to share an informational brochure on issues that can arise with fish hatcheries and GMO fish. I also wanted to share the impacts it has on my hometown in Puerto Rico and why it matters.

5.25 trillion pieces. That is the amount of plastic and marine debris in our ocean right now. I wanted to see what that looked like in my community and I-and everyone- can make a difference.

I wanted to combine my passion for visual art and environmental sciences. This piece reflects the overwhelming presence of plastic in ocean ecosystems. The plastic contributes an element of beauty and danger.

I wanted to express an otherwise dark subject in a more whimsical tone through a cartoon piece. In an ironic cycle we get back the plastic pollution we originally put into the ocean. It is our turn to suffer the effects.
