Yolimar began working at Birdsign Consulting in 2023. She was born and raised in Borikén (commonly known as Puerto Rico). She moved to Washington to pursue a masters in environmental science. She fell in love with the Cascadia region and decided to stay. Although her academic background was focused on marine science, Yolimar developed her outreach, education, communication and project management skills during her time at Washington State University Extension working with the Latinx/e community and broadly, Snohomish County residents. She later spent half a decade in the nonprofit field as a program manager and food systems equity advocate. Yolimar currently lives in Lynnwood, WA with her spouse and pets; two doodles and a tabby cat. When she’s not at her desk, she enjoys experiencing joy through food, deep relationships, nature-based experiences and healing practices.
