Your lawn can go flat and yellow for loads of reasons, but the fix isn’t always an expensive bottle. One everyday leftover has quietly become a go-to tweak for greener grass
From an early age she showed a love for science, which she pursued by studying Meteorology at the University of Valparaíso, Chile.
She has developed her career by contributing to different social and private projects, with the objective for meteorology to be understood by a large number of people, combining concepts and phenomena with environmental contingency.
She has an Automatic Meteorological Station (EMA) in Placilla de Peñuelas, Valparaíso, in order to provide and record updated data for that location. She has worked as a forecaster for more than 15 years, generating forecasts and advising different media such as the Valparaíso Ciudadano Program of Radio Portales, Radio Vistamar and the online program F.TV.
She is a founding member of the Placilla de Peñuelas Urban Recycling Company, dedicated to recycling household waste, where she is in charge of disseminating scientific and meteorological information to the community. She also advises the Emergency Team of the Illustrious Municipality of Valparaíso and is a member of the network of meteorology amateurs, Vigías del Tiempo Chile, where she is linked to this chain, her EMA.
Pamela has the conviction that only by informing and educating we can achieve real changes in humanity and meteorology.
