I'm a Ph.D. student in Dr. Cara Nelson’s Restoration Ecology lab at the University of Montana. My research interests spans from ecological monitoring, and restorative silvicultural treatments, to the ecology of subalpine forests from the Andes of Chile to the Rocky Mountains of western North America.

Since the beginning of my graduate school journey, I've been an active member of multiple international scientific organizations working on outreach and networking positions. Among them, I have served in multiple advising position for the Society for Ecological Restoration (2018-2024), also served as the Student Liaison and Student Representative (for Chile) with the Latin American Chapter of the Ecological Society of America (2018-2019), and as Webinar Organizer (2022-24) for the Whitebark Pine Ecosystem Foundation.

My service with the Society for Ecological Restoration (SER) has involve different advisory positions since 2018, participating in multiple activities organized by SER Student Associations as well as regional meetings. In 2020, I was invited to serve as moderator and tester of the first SER Community Forum and member of the recently formed SER Students & Emerging Professionals Committee (SEPC) where I've served as Vice-chair for the 2021-22 and Co-Chair for the 2023-24 period. Currently, I working with the SEPC to improve the ways students and emerging professionals can engage with, support, and enhance the value of the SER community and their future careers.

My current research and civic engagement activities are directed to the contribution of scientific-based evidence for the conservation and restoration of Whitebark Pine (Pinus albicaulis) and help build supportive communities for students and emerging professionals developing careers in ecological restoration.
