Biography

My research focuses on the evolutionary ecology of plant-insect interactions and the evolution of social behaviors in bees. Contributing to the knowledge of biodiversity in the Neotropics is my primary motivation as a student. For four years, I worked as an intern and research assistant on different research projects at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, a very enriching experience for me as a young researcher.
