Personal Summary

I studied Natural Environmental Engineering in order to provide realistic solutions to the numerous problems and challenges that arise in nature. My passionate dedication to marine ecology led me to delve deeper into this field during my studies at Lund University in Sweden, where I had the opportunity to explore the fascinating marine world in detail. This interest naturally transitioned into my current role as a scuba diving instructor with one year of experience.

Furthermore, I've had the opportunity to work as a Land Analyst for Reforestation Projects at the startup Orygen. In this exciting position, my work focused on identifying potentially reforestable areas for carbon sequestration and environmental conservation projects. I used geospatial tools, such as QGIS, to conduct detailed land analyses, evaluating criteria such as geomorphology, accessibility, hydrology, soil types, and legal and climatic factors. Additionally, my adaptability and flexibility allowed me to respond to the changing requirements of our clients.

I am an active person with a strong desire to learn and contribute my knowledge and skills, whether as part of a team or individually. My international, volunteer, linguistic, academic, and professional experiences have cultivated in me a flexible mindset and the ability to adapt to new environments. I am committed to continuing to contribute to the field of conservation and the environment.
