About
Most of my prior experience is with plant ecology, conservation and restoration in tropical forests. In 2012 I was offered a fully-funded PhD fellowship from the Colombian government (Colciencias) to study abroad, which gave me the opportunity to come to Purdue University to become involved in entomology. This opportunity opened the door to plant-insect interactions, a topic that I had not previously explored but is amazing, especially interactions among species. Once I graduate, I will return to Colombia where I plan to be a university professor or work in sustainable agriculture.
