I received my Ph.D. in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology from University of California Los Angeles in 2015 where I studied phenotypic responses to climate change and population dynamics in yellow bellied marmots with Dan Blumstein. Then, I did my postdoctoral research at the Department of Collective Behavior at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior working with Damien Farine on the Zebra Finch Project. In 2020, I joined the Department of Biology at the Universidad del Rosario in Colombia as an assistant professor. In 2021 I started as the Group Leader of the Max Planck Partner Group on Behavioral Ecology and Conservation hosted at my home University.
