I am a Swiss/Ecuadorian citizen doing my civilian service as an assistant at the International Programme Office of the Global Land Programme. I was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador, where I studied a BA in Biology and had the opportunity to conduct studies on land bird populations in ecosystems with different degrees of human influence. I am currently living in Basel, Switzerland, and I am doing a Master thesis at the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute on the establishment of tiger mosquito populations in Basel and their ability to adapt to the winter season.
