I obtained a BSc. in Chemical engineering from the National University of Colombia (Bogota, Colombia) and an MSc. degree, in the same discipline, from the University of Calgary (Calgary, Canada). I joined the Land-use management team (RD3) in September of 2019 in a doctoral researcher position. My work is focused on land-use level adaptation to global change (climate and socio-economic development) on different scales (local, regional, and global).
