About
I was born in Colombia, in a city located in eastern Colombia called Villavicencio. Since my childhood I have always been passionate about nature, especially the snakes. I studied Veterinary Medicine, and during my professional life I have been associated with public and private entities where I had the opportunity to work with wild species subject to illegal traffic, perform wildlife rescue and produce statistics on illegal traffic, and conduct environmental workshops on issues such as biodiversity, prevention and attention to ophidian accidents, and environmental regulations. Later, in 2015, I became an investigator of a research project on roadkills of wild fauna in three main roads in the department of Meta, Colombia, where we obtained a first diagnosis of this problem in the region. Based on the results obtained in this pilot project, I wrote my master’s thesis proposal, which I presented to the government of the department of Meta, obtaining from them a scholarship to conduct my master’s studies in the Universidad de Antioquia. I currently am a member of the Herpetological Group of Antioquia, where I am completing my second semester of the masters program.
