Project Coordinator in biodiversity monitoring and sustainability; developed jaguar monitoring protocols and automated tagging for 189,735 camera-trap photos.

Colombia
Message

At WWF Colombia, I supported permit management and logistics for satellite monitoring of jaguars in the Guaviare–Meta Jaguar Corridor, including development of a protocol for capture and biological sample collection. I also automated tagging of 189,735 camera-trap photos for the Jaguar Corridor project.

As a Bioacoustic biologist at WWF Colombia, I used acoustic monitoring to contribute to wildlife monitoring in the Jaguar Corridor. My work included recording birds, turtles, and dolphins, analyzing soundscapes, and producing quarterly technical reports for conservation decision-making.

At Pontifical Xaverian University, I co-created educational materials with four Indigenous communities to support learning Indigenous languages and preserve ecological knowledge. I also bring experience coordinating remote operations and client relations across multiple properties, alongside a Biology degree and specialization studies in Sustainability Management.
