I graduated in 2009 as a Biotechnology Engineer from the Polytechnic University of the Army-Ecuador. I worked for two years, first in a company that produces biocontrol microorganisms and biofertilizers for use in the cultivation of Andean roses, and then I worked in an environmental bioremediation company. In 2012, I began my master's studies in Bioprocess Engineering and Biotechnology at the Federal University of Paraná-Brazil, which I completed in 2014. Since 2015, I have worked as a university professor in the areas of Bioprocesses, Microbiology and Industrial Biotechnology in Universidad de las Américas, UDLA-Ecuador.
