I grew up in Colombia's Andean region, where dairy farming is central to the community's identity and economy. This inspired me to pursue a career in animal science, focusing on optimizing animal production to help meet the nutritional needs of a growing global population.My expertise lies in advancing genetic and applied science strategies to combat mastitis, improving milk quality, and enhancing animal welfare practices at the farm level. With experience in research and industry roles worldwide, I am passionate about driving innovation in agriculture through sustainable, science-based solutions that prioritize ethical livestock care, productivity, and environmental stewardship.I am committed to making a meaningful impact in agriculture by helping farmers produce high-quality dairy products while promoting animal welfare and sustainability.
