Dr. Mireya Mayor on Clubhouse

Bio

Explorer, award winning TV host, world-renowned primatologist, recognized science communicator and mom of six. Dr. Mireya Mayor, National Geographic’s first female wildlife correspondent, has hosted dozens of documentaries, including her own Nat Geo Wild! series Wild Nights with Mireya Mayor and Mark Burnett’s Expedition Africa for History Channel. Mireya currently stars in Travel Channel’s hit series, Expedition Bigfoot. But the former NFL cheerleader, and daughter of Cuban immigrants, is not your typical scientist.
​Mireya is known for exploring the most remote regions of the earth in search of elusive, rare and little known animals. Her explorations have led to several scientific discoveries, most notably her co-discovery in Madagascar of the world’s smallest primate, a brand new species to science.

In addition to her regular TV appearances, Dr. Mayor is also the Director of Exploration and Science Communications at Florida International University (FIU) and regularly gives lectures around the country for the National Geographic Speakers Bureau.
