Hi! I am a Colombian biologist and a Ph.D. candidate in Applied Earth Sciences at Indiana University Indianapolis (IUI). Using tropical lakes as natural archives, I integrate geochemistry, micropaleontology, and sediment physical properties to understand how ecosystems and climate have changed through time across the Northern Neotropics.

Communicating the insights from our climate reconstructions to local communities is vital, as they experience firsthand the evolving hydrological cycle in a warming world. I am deeply committed to sharing my research with the communities surrounding these watersheds, inspiring future generations to take an active role in sustainable water management. My passion for outreach extends to teaching, delivering public science talks, and engaging diverse audiences through podcasts and STEM programs to promote climate literacy and sustainable water management.
