Faculty Profile
I am a wildlife biologist passionate about studying and researching breeding biology, population ecology, and conservation management of avian populations, using mostly shorebirds as model species. I was born and raised in Cordoba, central Argentina, but once I discovered Patagonia, I moved to a coastal area. I have been fortunate to conduct research in remote locations, which has taught me a broad spectrum of skills.
Outside of research, I enjoy exploring different landscapes and cultures. Traveling, practicing yoga, and cycling keeps me grounded and inspired. I have travelled to over 30 countries and worked in Antarctica, first as a research technician in a summer station and later as an expedition guide and ornithologist onboard polar expeditions cruise ships. I had the chance to develop effective communication and collaboration skills through a diverse team of people, communities, and stakeholders. I am always excited to provide everyone with scientific knowledge and enriching wildlife experiences through education, hoping to help them develop a deeper connection with living organisms in our world.
