Shinara Sunderlal is an environmental education program manager at Billion Oyster Project and considers herself a global citizen. She grew up in New Delhi, India and has spent time living and learning in the UK, California, and Costa Rica before moving to New York seven years ago. Her passion for exploring the environment started in her suburban backyard and led her to experiences with Greenpeace, the World Wildlife Fund, and the Wildlife Conservation Society. She quickly realized that her impact on creating a more sustainable tomorrow would be minimal if she didn't combine her curiosity for the natural world with her passion for working with children, to educate the next generation of stewards. This led her to pursue a MA at the New York University and continue working to protect the local landscape through building communities around ecological solutions that oysters bring. Shinara is also an avid birder, mom to a senior cat and dog, Indian classical singer, and a budding wildlife photographer @WildlifEducashin.
