What I'm looking for

I’m looking for research-driven legal roles in international criminal law and transitional/restorative justice, where I can support human rights and tackle complex cases involving rural and environmental dimensions, working closely with strong legal teams.

I’m a Colombian lawyer with a strong focus on international criminal law, especially transitional and restorative justice. I pair rigorous legal research with clear drafting and practical case strategy to support human rights and social justice outcomes.

Through an internship as a Judicante Ad Honorem at the Corte Constitucional de Colombia, and a research fellowship at Dejusticia (Area de Campesinado), I deepened my work at the intersection of justice, equity, and rights protection. I also contributed to legal research and strategic litigation efforts connected to rural law issues affecting rural, ethnic and resource-poor communities.

While working with the Universidad Javeriana legal clinics, I helped engage in research seminars on international criminal law and transitional justice, guided by academic leadership. My internship at the Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) further strengthened my grounding in criminal justice, investigations, and the principles behind restorative and transitional approaches.

I’m fluent in English, French, and Spanish, and I thrive in work that demands precision, collaboration, and a commitment to accountable justice.
