​​I am a Botanist and Evolutionary Biologist interested in systematics, biogeography, and genomics. I combine genomic and morphological data, species geographic distribution, and the fossil record to explore and better understand the tree of life. Currently I am working on comparative analysis of methods of phylogenetic inference using the plastid genome and I am also interested in the diversification of Neotropical plants through space and time.

​I am a field-botanist who loves bioinformatics.
