I obtained my BSc degree in Biology at the University of La Laguna (ULL), where as part of my thesis I had the opportunity to explore the populational structure of two isolated populations of the Tenerife speckled lizard (Gallotia intermedia) through molecular techniques. After that, I completed a MSc degree on Biodiversity, Conservation and Evolution at the University of Valencia (UV), with a master thesis focused on characterizing life histories and trade-offs of a set of genetically determined isolines of Drosophila melanogaster.

Currently, I am involved in a project aimed to characterize patterns of local morph variation across multiple populations of the common wall lizard to unravel how and to what extent different selective pressures shape colour polymorphisms.
