Trained as an anthropologist, development practitioner, and engineer, my work bridges the theory and practice of water governance & policy. I employ a holistic and mixed-methods approach to developing science-based solutions that enhance water governance frameworks across local, national, and international contexts.

I have worked in various policy and management positions in the Ecuadorian Ministry of Agriculture and the Provincial Government of Loja, Ecuador. I have worked and conducted interdisciplinary research in several countries, including my native Ecuador (agricultural development), Costa Rica (water governance), the U.S.A. (water insecurity), Honduras (Feed the Future – USAID), Brazil (Programa de Municípios Sustentáveis), and Bolivia (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations).
