I'm a masters student advised by Dr. Natalia Peres and part of the Strawberry Pathology team of the GCREC. I graduated as an agronomist from Zamorano University in 2019. I'm interested in sustainable agriculture, biotechnology and food security. Passionate about plant pathology and entomology. Driven by these passions, I like to look for ways to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems.
