I am currently enrolled in the Graduate Program of Ecology and Evolution in the Department of Plant Biology & Pathology at Rutgers University. My research focuses on plant pathogens, endophytes and diversity maintenance mechanisms in lowland tropical forest.
I have been working on a variety of projects involving seed dispersal, plant guides for Manu National Park, plant pathogens interactions, and conservation of tropical forests.
