I am a Land Systems and Landscape Ecology researcher with expertise in remote sensing, GIS, and connectivity analyses in Latin American landscapes. In my work I combine geospatial methods to understand ecosystem and biodiversity changes in landscapes, and how these transformations are interrelated with human wellbeing. I also have experience in the formulation and development of wildlife conservation and management projects, focused on connectivity and conservation within fragmented landscapes. Currently my dissertation is focused on evaluating the contributions of different management categories of protected areas and collective territories to ecosystem preservation and functional connectivity maintenance. In addition, understanding the human wellbeing factors associated with these contributions.  

I am master in Ecology and Conservation from Instituto de Ecología A.C., Mexico, and I earned my bachelor’s in Biology in Universidad del Quindío, Colombia. Aside from my work, my hobby focuses on describing wildlife characteristics through scientific illustration.
