Pronouns: she/her

Universities: Universidad De Santiago de Chile

I was born in Cerro Navia, in Santiago de Chile. I got my bachelor's and master's degrees in physics from the University of Santiago de Chile (USACH). I also worked there for over a year as a research assistant, studying dark matter and models that explain how our universe developed to become what we observe now.

A little more than a year ago, my colleagues from USACH and I launched @Vectoras, a project that aims to bring physics closer to female students in order to reduce the science gender gap.

Fun fact about me:

I love hiking and bird watching

Favorite thing about Rice:

The great number of activities to help international students feel at ease
