Political Scientist and Lawyer with a Specialization in International Cooperation for Development 

With a solid background in political science and law, and specialized in international cooperation for development, I have more than 20 years of experience in the management, monitoring and evaluation of development programs and institutions. 

I have played key roles in consulting, evaluation and training for the programming, design and management of international cooperation and training interventions, covering various regions, including South America, Central America, the United States, the Caribbean and Europe. After extensive fieldwork, I established myself as an independent consultant, bringing my experience in change management and capacity building. I have successfully participated in missions in different regions, working closely with local, regional and international actors. 

My commitment to sustainable development is manifested in an approach focused on human rights, governance and socio-economic development. My technical background is complemented by an MBA in project management, giving me a solid understanding of the economic, strategic and operational dimensions. I have had the privilege of working with multilateral organizations, government agencies, civil society organizations, and the private sector. My studies in political science and law allow me to address development challenges from a comprehensive and interdisciplinary perspective. 

My methodological rigor has been recognized in my role as a trainer and coach for private companies, multilateral institutions such as the Organization of American States, United Nations, member countries of the European Union (Norway and France) and in Latin America (Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador). 

I have supported the implementation and evaluation of complex programs, and I have contributed to the development of monitoring and performance measurement frameworks for key EU initiatives, such as: FLEGT Forests in Colombia and Amazonia+, present in eight countries in Latin America. 

I am passionate about promoting positive change through adaptive and agile approaches, ensuring that development interventions are both impactful and sustainable.

I am the grant writer and manager for grants projects for Witness to Innocence (WTI). WTI is a national organization in the United States composed of and led by exonerated death row survivors and their family members. The mission of WTI is to abolish the death penalty by empowering exonerated death row survivors and their loved ones to become effective leaders in the abolition movement.

WTI actively challenges political leaders and the public to grapple with the reality of a fatally flawed criminal justice system that sends innocent people to death row. WTI also seeks ways to support death row survivors and their loved ones as they confront the challenges of life after exoneration. More than half of our staff and half of our board are death row exonerees, and we follow their leadership in our  work for death penalty abolition and other criminal legal reforms.
