About me
I am a PhD Candidate in the McFrederick Lab & co-advised in the Spasojevic Lab at UC Riverside whose research is very passionate about community assembly and biological diversity. I use as system of study the protagonists of my favorite ecological interaction in nature (aka pollination): Flowers, bees, and their shared microbiota
As an international student in the U.S., I recognize the importance of promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion not only in academic spaces but in our community as a whole. In June 2020, I co-funded Insects For Inclusion with Jessica Maccaro to raise money to support the "Advancing Inclusivity in Entomology Scholarship" through the selling of paintings, photographs, and music.

First time in Kings Canyon National Park
I also like to create virtual content in English and Spanish with two main objectives: 1) Communicating insect natural history, and 2) Highlighting the careers and journeys of LGBTQ+, black, indigenous, and scientists of color. But definitely, what I enjoy the most in my free time is being surrounded by nature, camping, and dancing latinx rhythms.
