Cargo: Master's study on the concentration of trace elements in hatchlings and eggs, as well as their correlation with hatching success, mortality rate and fertility in remigrant and neophyte female leatherback turtles on index beaches of the Mexican Pacific.

I am a biologist graduated from the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico and a graduate student at the National Polytechnic Institute-CIIDIR Sinaloa. I started working with sea turtles in 2019 as a volunteer and thesis student. I have participated in volunteer programs working with Caretta caretta, Chelonia mydas, Lepidcohelys olivacea, Eretmochelys imbricata and Dermochelys coriacea turtles in the Mexican Pacific and Caribbean, as well as at the STC in Costa Rica. I conducted my undergraduate research at the camp Tortuguero Barreros de San Luis, A.C. in Guerrero with the olive ridley and leatherback turtle, studying the size of the females, depth of the nests, and the influence of climatic variables on the incubation temperature of both species. I collaborated as a field technician at the Playa Tierra Colorada sanctuary, Guerrero with Kutzari A.C. in 2022-23. I am currently conducting my master’s study on the concentration of trace elements in hatchlings and eggs, as well as their correlation with hatching success, mortality rate and fertility in remigrant and neophyte female leatherback turtles on index beaches of the Mexican Pacific.
