About Me

Now living back in Colombia, after living in London, doing a Msc in Social Development Practice at UCL.

Passionate Industrial designer, leader and social entrepreneur focus on identification and leadership initiatives and projects that promote social sustainable development.

I currently work for the public sector in my home city Barranquilla, supporting the Mayor´s office social development programs and projects.

I used to lead the Community Programs of Fundación Proyecto Tití­, a conservation project for the cotton-top tamarins, an endemic monkey of Colombian Caribbean Region classified as critically endangered. As a Head of Community Programas, I design and promote the implementation of social business and sustainable development around the forest patches where Proyecto Tití­ does the main biological research. I also Lead Fundación Lí­deres de Comunidad a foundation led by an interdisciplinary group of professionals and volunteers that promote social leadership and citizen participation.
