I am a PhD candidate. I come from Guatemala and I majored in mathematics at the University of Guanajuato, México. My current research interests are: performing statistics on nonstandard spaces, statistical development for phylogenetic trees, Semi-parametric modeling and survival analysis. I have also collaborated in research projects regarding HIV prevention and incidence rates of Sexually Transmitted Infections conducted in Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. 

I collaborate with Dr. Amy Willis on developing statistical tools for analyzing collections of phylogenetic trees with non-identical leaf sets. Our work includes creating a new metric space for weighted tree graphs and building a JavaScript package to compute distances between trees in this metric space. Additionally, we have developed tools to analyze subsets of trees in the BHV tree space. These tools enable the development of statistical methods for analyzing tree samples with non-identical leaf sets, with potential applications in the analysis of bacterial and archaeal phylogenies.

In my free time, I enjoy painting with watercolors (although I'm terrible at it), playing violin and watching movie reviews on Youtube. I am also a proud dog mother.
