Particular interest on marine fish 🐟🦈🧬
Sharing and analyzing data in the first National Workshop for the Development of the Fish Species List of Peru’s Marine Protected Areas—an event that brought together country experts and marked a first step towards generating a comprehensive list of fish species in Peru’s MPAs.

There's no universal structure; ultimately, it depends on specific needs. E.g., I've recently been using the str below to manipulate efficiently same datasets across tasks (mostly w/ R & Quarto)

It was fascinating to learn how acoustics can help monitor both species and human activities, while also engaging communities and citizens with the environment.

Greatful for this insightful talk by Isla Keesje as part of the #WOPAM initiative, aiming to make #bioacoustics more accesible.

Additionally, I’ve contributed to fieldwork on fish, sharks/rays, birds, and marine invertebrates, while analyzing extensive biological and genetic datasets linked to these projects.

Sharing these findings and establishing meaningful connections at national and international conferences has been an amazing experience! I also had the opportunity to engage with the motivated students, sharing my experience on ecology and genetics in this position.

Grateful for the past two years as a researcher with Smithsonian’s #Peru_BMAP, where I’ve been leading an environmental DNA-based fish monitoring project in Peru’s central coast. This included creating & executing field protocols and bioinformatic pipelines for sequence processing and data analysis.
