Tropical montane cloud forest

For my Masters thesis I examined niche partitioning between eleven carnivore species and evaluated the impact of anthropogenic factors on the carnivore community in a highly threatened biodiversity hotspot within the Peruvian tropical montane cloud forests.

Amazon Rainforest

I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Geography and Environmental Studies with a research project focusing in the habitat spatial use of ocelots (Leopardus pardalis) in the Peruvian Amazon Rainforest.


Giving Back

In 2015, my mom suggested taking some of my childhood toys to my next trip and giving them to kids that I randomly encountered... This way I would give something back to the communities that I visited. Her brilliant idea and generous heart started GivingSmiles.

#GivingSmiles is a community fueled project so if you want to get involved, please send me a message via my contact page. It would mean the world! #TravelwithHeart
