I am a Colombian Caleña seed ecologist. I graduated as a Biologist from Universidad del Valle (Cali, Colombia). I got my Master’s in Biological Sciences from Universidad de los Andes (Bogotá, Colombia). Since the beginning of my career, I have been studying tropical dry forests, initially in Colombia. Currently, during my PhD, I am also exploring the Costa Rican dry forests.

I have always been passionate about plants. I love learning about its taxonomy, natural history, ecology, and physiology. Currently, my research focuses on understanding how the abiotic environment limits the seed and seedling stages in tropical dry forest species.
