About Ramon Duran

A person in a suit and tie smiling.

Ramon Duran is from San Jose, California, and he graduated with majors in Economics, Finance, and Religious Studies. His appreciation for the environment stems from living near the natural grandeur of Northern California's sprawling chaparrals, undulating hills, and rugged shorelines. Through this fellowship, he was especially interested in mitigating the tension between conservation efforts and traditional notions of profitability in business. He also hoped to learn more about the ways in which investor attitudes and behaviors change in response to increasing environmental degradation. As for pastimes, Ramon enjoys cycling, long-distance running, and searching for new locations to practice landscape photography.
