About Me.

I grew up admiring the diversity of flora and fauna both in Southern California where I grew up, and in Zacatecas, Mexico where my parents grew up. I was never exposed to careers in ecology in grade school, but when I got to college, I realized that I could make a living off of my love for nature! I immediately switched my major from Physics to Environmental Biology, and have been happily working in the field of Ecology ever since. 

​

My goal is to secure a permanent position where I can collaborate with community partners and continue to bridge the gap between scientific research and practical land management, advancing climate-informed adaptive management. I am dedicated to applying my expertise to address pressing environmental challenges and communicating science effectively to the public. Below is an infographic I created to illustrate my approach to translational ecology and my commitment to making a meaningful impact.
