What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can apply remote sensing and quantitative modeling to water and ecosystem monitoring—turning spatio-temporal data into actionable insights for conservation and water management, ideally with strong collaboration and data-driven decision-making.

I’m an environmental scientist with 9+ years of experience in water systems, ecosystem monitoring, remote sensing, and quantitative data analysis. I specialize in spatio-temporal analysis, statistical modeling, machine learning, and Google Earth Engine to monitor surface water and assess long-term environmental change across Latin America.

Through my postdoctoral work and Ph.D. research, I’ve focused on catchment-scale dynamics and how ecological processes respond to environmental drivers. My thesis work examines spatial-temporal patterns of Dinoflagellates in North Patagonian lakes, alongside dissolved organic matter, phytoplankton, and underwater light climate.

I care about translating complex environmental findings into clear, decision-ready insights for conservation, water management, environmental consulting, and sustainability-focused industries. I’ve also supported students as a biostatistics teaching assistant and enjoy communicating scientific results to interdisciplinary audiences.
