About

I am a bachelor’s student from Hermosillo, Sonora. Currently in the 8th semester in Biology at Universidad de Sonora. During my 4th semester, I volunteered at the Desert Museum where entomologist Dr. Kim Franklin introduce me to native bees. I’ve been identifying (until genus) and registering bees and floral resources from Hermosillo, Sonora since 2018. I am planning on collecting bees from 3 regions (Lower Colorado Valley, Plains of Sonora and Central Gulf Coast) of the Sonoran Desert for my BS thesis.
