I was born in Xalapa, México. I got my BSc in Actuarial Science from UNAM. Later, I obtained a MSc in Statistics from CIMAT/Universidad de Guanajuato, México. I wrote my thesis under the supervision of Dr. Andrés Christen-Gracia. After getting my degree, I worked for two years as a statistical analyst at MD Anderson Cancer Center; that gave me the opportunity to obtain experience in statistical consulting while being involved in research, more specifically, in Bayesian methods for Pharmacokinetics. In 2005, I decided to pursue a doctorate.
