## About

```text
At EXPORTADORA DE SAL, S.A. DE C.V. (ESSA), I led environmental compliance follow-up under LGEEPA and land-use change permits, and coordinated environmental audits with favorable results and no fines or sanctions.

I coordinated staff, specialists, and technical teams on biodiversity protocols connected with Reserva de la Biósfera El Vizcaíno. I also developed geospatial analyses and predictive models with ArcGIS and MaxEnt to support operational decisions, environmental management plans, and risk mitigation.

At Facultad de Ciencias Biológicas, UANL, I developed research on ecology, species distribution, and molecular biology. For my thesis, I integrated biological and environmental data to analyze the potential distribution of amphibians in the Sierra Madre Oriental using R, ArcGIS, QGIS, and MaxEnt.

My laboratory and bioinformatics work included DNA and eDNA analyses, PCR, sequence analysis, and phylogenetics in support of conservation and species-management projects. I also interpreted English and Spanish for medical institutions in the United States and Canada under HIPAA protocols.
