I am an Ecuadorian sociologist, university lecturer, and researcher specialized in Development, with a Master’s degree in Socio-Environmental Studies. My professional and academic work has focused on applied social research, the analysis of inequalities, public policy, gender, human rights, and socio-environmental issues. I have experience in higher education, research coordination, technical writing, and the systematization of qualitative and institutional information.
Throughout my career, I have worked in universities and public institutions in roles related to teaching, research, quality assurance, and institutional analysis. I have also participated in research projects on gender-based violence, border dynamics, social policy, and socio-environmental problems. My academic interests include sociology, development, education, critical social theory, and interdisciplinary approaches to environmental and social justice.
I am currently involved in teaching, research, and social initiatives that promote inclusion, gender equity, and community-based transformation. I am interested in joining international networks of women in science to strengthen collaboration, exchange knowledge, and contribute to research committed to social change.
