Working as a consultant, my deliverables defined, marketed and implemented a curriculum for municipal leaders on the climate, environmental and energy policy, sustainable development indicators and build capacity towards sustainable development projects and governance. The project consisted of two phases: 1. Develop and dissemination of a survey of Latin American municipal leaders (5000+) to collect primary data on the current knowledge and interest of energy access, climate finance, climate, social development, energy/renewables, and sustainable governance in civic leadership across Latin America. Deployed a marketing campaign to raise awareness of the upcoming programs and outline the need for sustainable knowledge and choices in government, companies and communities. 2. Development and implementation of the pilot education course of climate and sustainable development. Established a sustainability framework for municipal leaders in Panama. Provide technical expertise to project teams and government leaders across the Panamanian government system to implement local and sector-specific policies and mainstream climate change and environmental development strategy. Developing the curriculum focused on capacity building within planning for climate and environmental considerations, ESG fundamentals, development pathways and COVID-19 resilience. The project is now in the implementation phase with the Brundtland School of Governance (https://brundtland.school/) where online courses aim to create localized ownership of sustainable governance and sustainable development projects across Latin America.

A small business I started a company to wowrk with low-income households to reduce energy usage through energy efficiency improvements with additional benefits to improve the health and safety of beneficiaries. Working within our energy management software, we calculated the impact of energy saving measures and implemented the most energy positive and cost effective measures. These measures included replacing outdated appliances, installing new lighting, and replacing ineffective insulation. On a regional level, we quantified our GHG impacts and ensured a net positive effect on the environment. In my role, I focused on building our relationship with funding sources and Spanish speaking community members while driving the mission to alleviate poverty by employing local residents and improving human health.

As part of the senior marketing and branding team, I worked towards the creation of AVEVA’s global sustainability marketing campaign. My priorities consisted of assisting in market analysis and research projects on the current global business sustainability topics, evolving energy portfolios, conducting SWOT analysis on current USA and EU environmental policies, and exploring where opportunities for digital transformation exist in the energy production industry. My research and identification of environmental and social risks guided direct action by senior leadership in strategic planning, company-wide marketing deployment, and internal sustainability programs. Additional areas of research included climate and energy policy impacts on AVEVA software, climate reporting standards of TCFD and CDP, ISO14001 standards, and evaluation of competitor sustainability positioning. Our team produced several internal reports and presentations on the impact of environmental and social movements, where AVEVA could quickly implement internal sustainable programs. I authored several blogs (https://www.aveva.com/en/perspectives/blog/) and fact sheets as well as proof-read international press releases for AVEVA’s Sustainability campaign.

The Climate Leaders Program for Professional Students at Harvard provided a small cohort with a hands-on opportunity to engage with policy leaders, professionals, and global leaders in our shared climate-related work. This program directly contributed to my research focus during my master's program and built a network of climate leaders at Harvard.
