Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ

I was born in a small city in Colombia but was raised in its second largest city, Medellin. In spite of all the social issues that the city has suffered for years, its people possess a remarkable entrepreneurial spirit and I very much enjoyed living there. The Universidad de Antioquia is the main public university in Medellin and it is there that I obtained my undergraduate and masters degree in physics and later worked as a part-time physics professor in the engineering department.
I enjoy physics and math very much but I am also interested in the conservation of the environment and have a deep respect for nature. Following my bliss I decided to take some classes in the Oceanography program at Rutgers University and fell in love with it.
Now I am a graduate student and I am thrilled at being a part of this program. I see this as an opportunity to help actively in the conservation and awareness of our oceans through the understanding of the various physical processes that affect the marine ecosystems.
Personal Interests:
My main personal interest is to spend quality time with my husband and our two-year old son. I enjoy listening to classical music, hiking, camping, swimming in rivers and in general being in the outdoors.
