La Sra. Lemay ha estado dirigiendo el Programa de Biodiversidad y Servicios Ecosistémicos (BIO) del BID desde su creación en 2012, además ha encabezado iniciativas piloto destinadas a la incorporación de capital natural en sectores económicos como el turismo en Belice y planes de desarrollo multisectorial de las Bahamas. Como especialista líder en recursos naturales del BID, también supervisa equipos de proyectos multidisciplinares en diseño y análisis de los préstamos de inversión del sector público y fondos de donaciones en materia de gestión integrada de las zonas costeras, la pesca, el turismo, la conservación marina y la seguridad de la tenencia de la tierra en América Latina y el Caribe. Antes de incorporarse al Banco en 1992, la Sra. Lemay trabajó con la Administración Oceánica y Atmosférica Nacional (NOAA) en la planificación y gestión de áreas marinas protegidas y con el Centro de Recursos Costeros de la Universidad de Rhode Island dirigiendo los programas de gestión de zonas costeras integradas de América Latina y Asia. En 1998, la Sra. Lemay creó la primera estrategia para la gestión de los recursos costeros y marinos del BID, que supuso la transición hacia un enfoque de los sectores económicos en las zonas costeras basado en los ecosistemas.
