Research interests

I’m interested is in insect communities with a focus on conservation. At the moment I want to explore how ecological restoration efforts recover function and diversity of insects.

Before my MSc by Research I studied for a Licentiate (BSc Hons.) at the University of Panamá and was a Student Visitor Fellow in the STRI Arthropod Programme at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute.
