Researcher in Urban Sustainable Development, with international teaching, corporate, and government experience. Interested in the decarbonization of cities with a prevalence of informal settlements.My current research explores how residents of informal settlements reconfigure their neighboring green landscapes for infrastructural purposes in Portoviejo city, Ecuador.
