With a deep commitment to addressing the dual challenges of combating climate change and social inequality, I currently serve as Program Director at Movilizatorio. With over 12 years of diverse experience in public administration, sustainability and economic development, I have been at the forefront of driving change in diverse capacities. Most recently I led the climate change team at the District Secretariat of Environment and the formulation of the Bogotá Climate Action Policy 2023-2050.

As Advisor to the Secretariat of Economic Development, I played a key role in the creation of initiatives such as the Circular Economy Strategy of Bogota and the Innovative Green Entrepreneurship Program, which directly impacted local businesses and innovation ecosystems. At COMFAMA, I led efforts in rural development, forging strategic alliances and managing programs aimed at fostering sustainable agribusiness and rural employment. I also worked as a Senior Associate at Accountability in New York, a global sustainable development consulting firm.

My educational background includes a Masters in Public Administration from Columbia University, where I specialized in Economic and Political Development with a focus on sustainability. In addition, I have a B.A. in International Relations and Economics from Boston University.

My invitation is that together we drive positive change through citizen empowerment and participatory, evidence-based approaches.
