I am a 2024 MA graduate in International Development with a strong focus on social innovation for global impact, gender equity, and improving health outcomes through equitable access. My passion lies in transforming communities through empowerment, advocacy, and human-centered development.With a deep commitment to anti-violence work and community education, I have developed comprehensive educational toolkits and initiatives that drive engagement and change at the grassroots level. I am particularly skilled at designing and implementing evidence-based strategies that foster greater community involvement and support allyship, especially in underserved regions.As a Latin America region specialist with native fluency and expertise in the region's cultural, social, and political landscapes, I bring a nuanced understanding to international development work, ensuring interventions are context-sensitive and sustainable. My approach is always collaborative and human-centered, combining academic research, market insights, and user-centered design to create impactful solutions.***Graduating in 2022 from UNC-Chapel Hill with a double major in Global Studies (focusing on Latin American and transnational identities, cultures, and arts) and Human Development and Family Studies, I blend my interdisciplinary academic background with practical experience to drive social equity and community-led development.I am driven by a vision of a more equitable and inclusive world, where communities and individuals are empowered, violence is actively prevented, and human potential is fully realized.
