Laura Naranjo

Laura Naranjo has spent most of her life in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, growing up in Colorado and Montana and now raising her family in New Mexico. After earning a bachelor’s degree from the University of Colorado, she launched a serendipitous career as a science writer and graphic artist at a climate research center. At this intersection between art and science, she learned the value of wild habitats and the vulnerability of their ecosystems. Laura currently lives in Albuquerque and works in special education. She spends most of her free time hiking, bowhunting, and volunteering with organizations that champion public lands and wildlife.
