She completed her masters' thesis on family relationship and extra-pair paternity in gentoo penguins (Pygoscelis papua).
During all her years as student, she worked as teaching assistant in different modules (Climate Change, Biological Conservation, Genetic and Biotechnology, Workshop in Ecosystems). She also worked with the local government and private institutions under the University’s scheme “SinLimites UC” to develop mitigation strategies against Climate Change.
Camila is now working towards an MRes at the School of BEES (UCC), under the supervision of MESA PI, Tim Sullivan, and Simon Harrison.
