Bilingual operations and data specialist driving sustainable program impact.
ColombiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual (English–Spanish) operations and data specialist with a strong background in environmental programs, ecotourism operations, and higher-education teaching. I combine scientific training in biology with practical experience applying data-driven approaches to improve program delivery and stakeholder outcomes.
In government roles I implemented a Payment for Environmental Services scheme, co-authored local regulations, designed monitoring tools, and used Power BI dashboards to inform strategic planning and funding allocation. I prioritize data consistency, transparency, and actionable reporting.
In the private and non-profit sectors I have overseen daily operations for an ecotourism business, managed CRM-based communications and bookings, coordinated logistics for international guests, and led social media and analytics efforts to promote sustainability education. I bring attention to detail, client-facing communication skills, and operational discipline.
I also have experience in claims examination, laboratory support under GMP/GDP, and university-level teaching in biophysics, ecology, and environmental management. I seek roles where I can apply cross-disciplinary collaboration, improve processes with data, and advance conservation-minded initiatives.
