I am interested in ecology, conservation, evolution and science communication.
I grew up between Mexico City and London, and became interested in marine biology during the two months I spent in Madagascar in 2010. I joined the Witman Lab upon returning to Brown, and have since participated in a season of Galapagos fieldwork in addition to working on data analysis in Providence. I have classified the states of barnacles to support our work on climate oscillations, logged the eating habits of different species of fish to support our research on trophic cascades, and scanned a variety of photo quadrats (both recent and historical). I enjoyed my work as the lead TA on Professor Witman's Ecology course, and am currently expanding the lab's educational outreach through lectures and an animation that describes our research on sea urchins.
I am also conducting a project on the feeding habits of Nidorellia armata (also known as the chocolate chip sea star).
Below are photos I took during our last field season. Please visit my website if you are interested in seeing more, and follow me on Twitter for updates on our work!
