About me

I am a marine biologist and policy advisor with over 15 years of experience in coral reef research, symbiosis, and ecosystem restoration. My academic training in Colombia, Mexico, and the U.S. has shaped an interdisciplinary approach that connects scientific research with environmental governance. As a delegate of Colombia’s Ministry of Environment, I have contributed to high-level international forums, helping advance marine resilience strategies across Colombia and Latin America. I am strongly committed to cross-sector collaboration as a means to strengthen scientific knowledge, guide conservation efforts, and promote the sustainable management of coastal ecosystems.
