I am from Guatemala and I studied mathematics at the University of Guanajuato, México. My current research interests lie in the intersection between mathematics and statistics through object-oriented data analysis.  

My work with Dr. Amy Willis focuses on phylogenetics, developing tools that are both rigorously grounded and suited to the characteristics of real-world data. My recent work introduces a new mathematical framework for weighted tree-graphs with non-identical tip-nodes, enabling intuitive distances and informative summaries for tree collections. Ultimately, I seek to improve the interpretability and reliability of phylogenetic analyses by introducing well-founded statistical concepts. 

In my free time, I enjoy crocheting, painting, and watching movie reviews on Youtube. I am also a proud dog mother.
