I am fascinated by all lifeforms, but have a soft spot for spiders, which is why they are my main model organisms for the research I carry out on evolution and biogeography, at CICESE in northwestern Mexico. I obtained my BSc in Zoology from the University of Reading, UK, and my PhD on ant-mimicking jumping spiders from James Cook Uni in Townsville, Australia. Currently, I am a researcher in charge of the terrestrial arthropod collection at CICESE's Conservation Biology Department.
