What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration and innovation in environmental research, focusing on data-driven solutions for sustainability.

I'm an Environmental Engineer with over 9 years of advanced analysis and training in environmental data analysis, regulatory compliance, and pollution mitigation research. My experience includes advanced Python for data cleaning and statistical analysis of large biological and environmental datasets, as well as utilizing Geographic Information Systems for bioinformatics pipelines.

Currently, I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Marine Sciences at CINVESTAV Mérida, focusing on the rhizosphere microbiome of seagrasses and their resilience to environmental stressors. My previous roles include Environmental Manager at Lactomark, where I successfully enhanced wastewater treatment processes, and I have authored several publications on environmental contamination and microbial ecology.
