She did postdoctoral stay at the San Diego Natural History Museum, where her project "Entomological study of the coastal dunes of the Baja California Peninsula as a baseline for the management of ecosystems" began generating the first inventory of entomofauna in coastal dunes in Mexico. The research focuses on knowing the entomological diversity of the coastal dunes of the Baja California Peninsula in order to identify sites of endemism or hot spots for the conservation and proper management of the ecosystem.
