Anthropologist for
Water Security
and Climate Resilience

Policy and Development Project Design | Applied Research | From Glaciers to the Sea

I work alongside international organizations, governments, NGOs and communities to strengthen water security and climate resilience across Latin America.

Professional Profile

WHO AM I?

With over 15 years of experience and approximately USD 30 million mobilized in international cooperation, I connect the multilateral agenda with governments, experts and communities to strengthen water security and climate resilience across Latin America. My approach combines applied anthropology, water diplomacy and interdisciplinary work to translate complex territorial dynamics into evidence, partnerships and projects linked to the water-climate-ecosystems-risk nexus. This experience — built through direct work in vulnerable watersheds and intergovernmental dialogue — allows me to engage with equal fluency before multilateral organizations, technical teams and local communities.
