Roles: Bioacoustic testing and AI training
Since I was very little, nature has been a source of inspiration. Birds especially sparked my interest in knowing and learning more about them. My first encounter with bird science was at an ornithology course in the Yanayacu Biological Reserve. Since then, my interest in birds has only grown stronger. My career in bird identification has allowed me to travel and get to know several provinces in Ecuador, giving talks and participating in bird counts like the Christmas Bird Counts and the Global Big Day as an official compiler. I have contributed to several articles as co-author and related author on Ecuadorian avifauna. Since March 2021, until now, I have been working at the Condor Andino Ecuador Foundation as a ParaBiologist, in the Aguila Inca Ecuador Project. Additionally, I am coordinator of the Urban Bird Program (PAU) and the owner-manager of the Agroturistica los Nogales farm, which specializes in bird watching. I am also an Ebird Ecuador-Napo volunteer reviewer.
