Research interests
I am passionate about exploring how spatial ecology can support biodiversity conservation across tropical countries. My research has focused on understanding the negative impacts of forest loss and degradation on plant and animal species, and identifying critical sites for wildlife conservation. During my PhD studies, I aim to employ advanced remote sensing techniques to monitor restoration initiatives and sustainable agricultural practices, evaluating their potential impacts on biodiversity in my home country, Colombia.
Personal interests
I love spending time in nature, exploring diverse ecosystems, and hoping to catch a glimpse of animals along the way. I also enjoy practicing yoga and rock climbing, both indoors and outdoors, whenever I can. Gardening and watching movies are two other hobbies I genuinely enjoy!
