PhD in Biosciences, University of Coimbra, Portugal. Magister Scientiae in Applied Ecology from the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina (UNALM, Peru). Biologist and senior lecturer at UNALM. My field of interest is focused on working with ecosystem services, environmental education, formative research and citizen science. I have worked on methodologies to address ecosystem services as a tool for ecosystem management. I have experience in research on high Andean ecosystems and marine-coastal ecosystems. I have contributed with the implementation of environmental education processes in schools, the writing of educational material and the development of around 300 training workshops for educators and decision makers on environmental management and scientific research in different parts of Latin America, United States and Europe. For 6 years I have represented Peru and Latin America in the scientific committee of the GLOBE International Science and Education Program, promoted by NASA, participating in international research campaigns.
