About me
Medical Doctor. Researcher in training. Passionate about teaching and scientific editing. I am a purpose-driven leader committed to turning challenges into meaningful opportunities. My long-term goal is to specialize in Public Environmental Health and contribute actively to building a stronger, more equitable, and resilient healthcare system in Ecuador, capable of facing the complex environmental challenges of the 21st century. I value continuous learning, collaborative networks, and interdisciplinary thinking. Always open to connecting, exchanging ideas, and co-creating with professionals and institutions worldwide. Beyond my professional life, I’m a devoted long-distance runner and a lifelong lover of classic literature.
