Geologist at the Ministry of Energy and Mines analyzing geological data for contaminated soil management in Bogotá.

Colombia
Message

At the Ministry of Energy and Mines, I provide professional services for quantitative data analysis related to the geological component of contaminated soil management in the capital district.

At the District Department of Environment, I developed geological maps and hazard and risk scenarios, and managed technical databases for resource management and project evaluations.

At Geototal S.A.S, I developed the conceptual hydrogeological model for Caño Limón in Arauca, including cartography, isopiezometric maps, and geological and hydrogeological profiles. My undergraduate thesis was a numerical groundwater flow model for Yopal, and I also participated in developing a conceptual model of Bogotá's shallow aquifer.
