Hi! I’m Magda — a biologist trained in community ecology, microbiology, and entomology. My research focuses on understanding the mechanisms that shape biodiversity through the study of multitrophic interactions. Over the past several years, I have examined how interactions among flowers, wild bees, and their microbiomes influence patterns of diversity across space.

Currently, as a UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow in the Gaiarsa Lab at UC Merced, my research explores how resource availability and environmental change affect flower–bee interactions, with the broader goal of understanding how these shifts influence bee fitness and ecosystem stability. I am also deeply passionate about teaching, mentoring, and supporting others in their scientific journeys.
