I am a biologist from the University of Quindío in Armenia, Colombia, with a strong passion for entomology, taxonomy, and ecology. My fascination with insects—particularly dung beetles—has guided my academic and professional journey, leading me to explore their ecological roles and contributions to biodiversity. I recently completed my Master’s degree at the Institute of Ecology (INECOL) in Xalapa, Mexico, where I specialized in the study of dung beetle assemblages and their ecological functions under different environmental conditions.

My commitment to science is deeply rooted in curiosity and a desire to understand the intricate processes that sustain life. Research allows me to connect with the essence of nature, while the mountains—my sanctuary—offer a space for reflection and renewal. Trekking at high altitudes not only strengthens my bond with the natural world but also nurtures my appreciation for the intrinsic value of life.

I believe that knowledge gains meaning when it is shared. Guided by this principle, I strive to contribute to both the conservation of our ecosystems and the well-being of society. Collaboration, teaching, and outreach are central to my vision of science as a collective endeavor, where each effort enriches human growth and strengthens our responsibility toward the environment..
