Starting LTER Postdoc
Harvard Forest, Harvard University
spotlight // September 1, 2021
In September 2021 I began a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard Forest LTER working in Dr. Jonathan Thompson's Landscape Ecology Laboratory. We study long-term and broad-scale changes in forest ecosystems, with an emphasis on quantifying how land use - including harvest, conversion, and land protection - affects forest ecosystem processes and services. The majority of our work focuses on New England and is associated with the Harvard Forest Long Term Ecological Research Program. My work in the Thompson lab focuses on the impacts of disturbances on New England Forest Carbon and at furthering our understanding of forests as a nature-based climate solutions and the risks to forest carbon pools with the goal of reaching policy-driven climate change mitigation goals

About Me
MY Path to stanford Earth
I was born and raised on the southeastern corner of Puerto Rico to Puerto Rican and Indian parents. I lived in Puerto Rico until my late childhood, where on the weekends my father would take my family to explore the natural wonders of Borinquen. This includes El Yunque tropical rainforest, the caves at Camuy, bioluminescent bays, and the beaches of Vieques and Culebra. During my childhood, both my parents were educators, while most of my extended family worked in agriculture. My heritage has strengthened my bond with nature, and informed the trajectory of my academic career thus far.
During my late childhood my family moved to New England, where I graduated from Leominster High School, and later attended the University of New Hampshire. While in New England, I had the opportunity to explore different realms of the natural world, including the beauty of the White Mountains, and the northern temperate forests.
At the University of New Hampshire I obtained a B.S. in Environmental Conservation and Sustainability, with a focus in Forest Ecology, and a Forestry Minor. While at UNH, I was heavily involved in diversity initiatives and research throughout all four years, where I developed a passion for terrestrial ecology and the career aspiration of becoming a professor.
This led me to Stanford University, where I am currently in the Environmental Earth System Science Ph.D. program, studying plant root systems.
