Global Governance and UN, Environment, Regional Cooperation
I am from Costa Rica and have had the opportunity to live in several countries around the world. I lived one year in Kolkata, India where I worked for a steels company and for an environmental think tank NGO. I have also spent time in a Kibbutz in Israel, a youth working experience in Salt Lake City, USA, and carried field work for my thesis in Ecuador. I currently live and work in Rome, Italy for the Interuniversity Research Centre for Sustainable Development. I am a nature lover with an engineering background and have a masters degree in Sustainable Development, specifically in energy and resources from Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I have a passion for energy and sustainability topics and the willingness to channel my efforts towards social development and environmental issues. I consider myself a motivated, flexible, and open-minded person.
