Skills & Expertise

Over more than a decade of years of experience, I have developed a versatile skill set to go deep into One Health

Field & Sampling

  • Design and implementation of data collection instruments: Google Forms, KoboToolBox, SharePoint.

  • Fieldwork across coastal and remote ecosystems in Latin America.

  • Clinical handling and sampling of birds, reptiles, and aquatic and terrestrial mammals, in the wild, captivity, production, and domestic settings.

Dataset Management & Processing

  • Social media (YouTube): built and ran an extraction pipeline covering over 60,000 text records.

  • Vivli dataset: analysed over 1,000,000 records.

  • ANIMUSE (WOAH): processed over 3,000 antimicrobial use records.

  • Built and organised over 1,000 isolate records contaning genomic information with metadata.

Dataset

Data Analysis & Programming

  • R: hierarchical mixed-effects models, generalized models, multivariate analysis, meta-analysis, bayesian analysis

  • Python: API-based data collection pipelines, automation

  • Forecasting and modelling of antimicrobial use trends

  • Geospatial analysis in QGIS

  • Genomic analysis in BRIG and Proksee

  • Phylogenetic analysis in Figtree

Qualitative & Social Research

  • Design and validation of surveys and semi-structured interviews.

  • SWOT analysis applied to natural resource governance.

  • Public discourse surveillance across social media platforms (multi-platform methodology).

  • Qualitative analysis software: Taguette.

Policy and Knowledge Management

  • Policy brief writing and evidence synthesis for decision-makers.

  • Comparative analysis of National Action Plans (12 countries, South America).

  • Grant writing: submitted proposals from USD $10,000 to £3 million (WASH strategies, sustainable livelihoods), and secured funding of £5,000 and USD $71,000 (AMR surveillance in seabirds).

  • Mapped 15+ funding and conference opportunities aligned with One Health, health strengthening and AMR.

  • Knowledge management and cross-sector coordination in low- and middle-income resource settings (LMIC).

Policy and knowledge

Laboratory, Molecular Diagnostics & Clinical Pathology

  • PCR, MALDI-TOF and microbiological diagnostics of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens.

  • Whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and phylogenetic analysis (core genome, SNP-threshold clonal inference).

  • Clinical pathology: hematology and blood biochemistry in wildlife species.

  • Bioinformatics tools: PATRIC, Center for Genomic Epidemiology, Galaxy, and EnteroBase.

Communication & Teaching

  • 7+ years of university teaching (Peru and Chile), 800+ students

  • Supervisor of one undergraduate student.

  • Supervised a research intern on resource mobilisation and grant proposal development

  • 11+ talks, interviews, and outreach panels since 2023

  • Cross-sector, multicultural scientific communication (Latin America, Europe, Africa)
