I graduated as a Veterinary Doctor in 2007. Since then, I have worked as director of the Transdisciplinary Center for Environmental Studies and Sustainable Human Development (CEAM) at the Universidad Austral de Chile in Valdivia. Currently, I am also the director of the Honors program of studies on Environment, Society and Climate Change and I am part of the Cabe Horn International Center. My research interests are in biocultural ethics, mountain ecosystems, and transdisciplinary research on socio-ecological strategies for the sustainability of southern forests.
