Senior student interested in plant conservation, forest ecology, systematics and ethnobotany. I have been working in a manual of medicinal, edible and poisonous plants of Puerto Rico. As a member of the AKKA SEEDS ecology chapter, I have been able to work with the biological status of an endemic and possibly endangered plant species. I was born in Bogota Colombia but raised in the tropical island of Puerto Rico.
