      I was born in Spain but moved to the USA three years ago to get my  bachelor’s degree. I love traveling and last summer I volunteered in  Ecuador working with Andean bears and condors. 
       I am also very interested  in both botany and mycology, and will be working on the plant  communities, and ectomycorrhizal fungi across a previously established  elevation gradient.
