I studied a degree in Biology and a master's degree in Conservation Biology at the Complutense University of Madrid. My scientific interest is focused on elucidating biogeographic patterns and evolutionary biology applied to biodiversity conservation. I began by studying the spatiotemporal patterns of plant species that underlie the subantarctic islands, specifically those belonging to the South Indian Ocean Biogeographic Region. Currently, I am a pre-doctoral researcher and I collaborate in the 'OddManOut' project where we study the spatiotemporal patterns of plant species from the Afrotropics, as well as assess their risk of extinction by reporting on their conservation status. I recently got a contract to carry out my doctoral thesis, in which we will study the origin of the afrotropical EDGE species of the Euphorbiaceae family and their response to climate change. In my free time I like to read poetry and climb.
