I am currently majoring in Environmental Sciences. Mi academic formation has been constructed from the transdiscipline and interdiscipline. I am interested in studying the way the socio ecological systems work, especially the public policies that define the management of our ecosystems. Likewise, I am interested in the relationships that surface between society and nature within different contexts, and how these reflect on the decision making for the managing of the natural resources.
