Profile Summary

Academic & Teaching Background: My academic journey began at the University of Chile , where I served as a Teaching Assistant in Veterinary Public Health and Mass Farming Pathology. Currently, I hold the position of Instructor Professor at the University of Tarapacá, teaching Physiology to Obstetrics and Kinesiology students. Additionally, I serve as a Thesis Advisor for Veterinary Medicine students. This continuous teaching experience has honed my communication skills and ability to transfer complex knowledge to diverse professional teams. Research & Scientific Writing: I have extensive experience in applied research focused on sustainable nutrition, specifically the rearing of Tenebrio molitor and the microencapsulation of insect flour. This work led to the publication of four scientific articles , serving as the lead author on two of them. I have also presented my findings as an oral speaker at scientific conferences. This background has solidified my expertise in formulating research questions, experimental design, data analysis, and scientific writing. Clinical Experience & Protocol Management: I possess a strong clinical background in Small Animal Internal Medicine and Emergency Care, supported by diplomas in Urgency/ICU and Veterinary Cardiology. Beyond clinical practice, I apply an analytical approach to hospital management.
