My heart is scattered across Colombia, Germany, the United States. and the Philippines. I hold a double major in Economics and Political Science (Colombia). Following my personal-life passions, I took a Minor in Architecture and City, hosted a radio show, and worked in Yosemite National Park. In 2019, I got my MSc. Global Environmental Change (Germany) and my thesis addressed the role of people in the production of urban natures #EnvironmentalJustice #LandscapeEcology. I have worked with incredible teams (Asian Development Bank, German Cooperation Agency, PIK Institute, etc.). Now back home, I’m currently leading the BiodiverCities by 2030 Initiative at the Humboldt Institute of Colombia. Volunteer at Fundacion Cerros de Bogota.
