Professional Experience

Researcher

Marine Research Institute (INVEMAR), Santa Marta, Colombia, 1993–1998

Professor

I have worked as a professor at various public/state universities in Colombia. Between 1994 and 1998, I taught at several universities, including Jorge Tadeo Lozano, Cooperativa de Colombia, Magdalena, Atlántico, Surcolombiana, and Sucre. Since 1998, I have taught statistics at the Department of Statistics, Universidad Nacional de Colombia in Bogotá.
