Alumni

I was a PhD researcher in Laseg between 2016-2019, and I'm now a lecturer at the Faculty of Administration, Universidad de los Andes. My dissertation explored the potential design, early implementation and discourses of Payments for Ecosystem Services in Colombia, supervised by Esteve Corbera and Maria Alejandra Vélez (Universidad de los Andes). Before my PhD at ICTA-UAB, I coursed an MSc in Social Policy Research from the London School of Economics and a Bachelors in Management from the Universidad de los Andes (Colombia).
