WELCOME
Greetings!!! Here you may find information mostly related to my professional endevours, which certainly is a big part of my passionate life. I do my best to educate myself —and those around— of living a life respecting others and the environment.
Currently, I work as full professor at the Department of Environmental Sciences of the Universidad Nacional (UNA), Costa Rica. Additionally, I'm the Chief editor of the Tropical Journal of Environmental Sciences (Revista de Ciencias Ambientales) and Ambientico Magazine.
I participate as board member, researcher, professor, consultant, presenter and advisor in different capacities. And for more fun, I enjoy playing soccer, hiking, mountain biking, traveling, and reading!
