Hola! (Hello! Hej!)

I'm a plant ecologist and conservation biologist. My research combines experimental and field-based approaches with plant functional traits to understand how environmental gradients and climate change affect plant recruitment (seeds and seedlings) and long-term vegetation dynamics in temperate, alpine, and Arctic ecosystems.

I'm also deeply engaged in conservation practice, with experience in applied conservation projects in tropical and mountain regions of Mexico, Central America and Australia. I normally work at the intersection of ecological research and real-world application, contributing to ecological restoration and community-led conservation efforts.

I'm currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Copenhagen, where I investigate Arctic plant regeneration under climate change. I’m always happy to talk about plants, science, and conservation.
