Hi! I am a doctoral student at the Whitehead Lab, in Dalhousie University. My Ph.D. research if focused on the social ethology of sperm whales. Leveranging a unique dataset of aerial recordings of sperm whale surface behaviour off the Galápagos Islands, I'm investigating the potential underlying mechanisms and proximate functions of sperm whale society in the region. Namely, I am interested in analyizing affiliative behaviours among sperm whales and their defense responses towards other odontocetes. 

Additionally, I am passionate about science education and am particularly interested in strategies to teach coding and statistical analysis that is inclusive and welcoming. This is why I started  a YouTube channel dedicated to introducing R programming and statistics for Spanish speakers - R Con Anita.
