About
I am a veterinarian who graduated from the Faculty of Veterinary Sciences at the University of Buenos Aires in 1986. As a professor at this institution and a specialist in small animal surgery, I have dedicated my career to both education and practice.
Since 2000, I have spent three months each year working in the Peninsula Valdés protected natural area in Chubut, Argentina. Over the years, I have collaborated on orca photo-identification projects, participated in southern right whale sampling, and conducted necropsies on various marine mammal species. Currently, I lead a project focused on sea lion necropsies at Punta Norte, where my surgical expertise has enhanced the efficiency and precision of post-mortem examinations.
The ocean, its wildlife, and marine ecology have always been my passion. I actively share my experiences to raise awareness about conservation and the protection of Argentina’s natural areas. In addition to my work as a veterinarian and researcher, I am an avid nature photographer. I use my images in graduate and postgraduate classes, as well as on social media, to inspire students and the general public to care for the oceans.
