My ultimate career goal is help rural people to improve their life quality through applied bio-physical, socio-economic, and environmental research. Coming from a farm, I have always been linked to the agricultural and rural sectors and my studies and works have always focused in enhancing farming systems.

I have a B.S. degree and an Agricultural Engineer degree from the Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina in Lima, Peru; a postgraduate diploma in Administration of Agrarian Schools from the Association Internationale des Maisons Familiales Rurales in Paris, France; a M.S. degree in Agricultural Education and Communication (Concentration in Farming Systems Research and Extension) from the University of Florida; and a Ph.D. degree in Interdisciplinary Ecology (Concentration in Food and Resource Economics) also from the University of Florida at Gainesville.

I have worked as farm manager, college professor, extension agent, extension program planner, development project consultant, graduate teaching and research assistant, postdoctoral research associate, and Assistant Professor. My work places have ranged from the private enterprises to NGOs, and from international agencies to universities. Currently, I am Assitant Professor and Extension Specialist in Dairy Management at the University of Wisconsin-Madison at the Dairy Science Department.
