Biography:

I was born on 1983, in Talcahuano, Chile where I went to elementary and middle school in the School Villa Independencia. My high school studies were in the city of Concepción at Liceo Enrique Molina Garmendia. In 2001, I began my studies in the Unversity of Concepción, where I am currently working on my thesis on comparative phylogeography of frogs and freshwater fishes from Southern Chilean Patagonia.
