I was born and raised in Mexico City, where my love for trees began. After graduating high school in 2015, I ventured to Vancouver, Canada, to further my tree knowledge at university.
I graduated in 2021 with a Bachelor of Urban Forestry, and since then, I have been broadening my arboricultural knowledge and skill set through my work as an arborist and various certifications. Currently, I am pursuing a master’s degree in Ecological Restoration, bringing an international perspective to my studies and work.
