Experienced Project Coordinator with a focus on social impact.
What I'm looking for
I am a Project Coordinator and Political Scientist with a Master’s degree in Project Management and Development from Universidad de los Andes. With over four years of experience leading social and community-based projects across Latin America, I have honed my skills in community engagement, stakeholder coordination, and results-based management. My expertise lies in trust-based philanthropy and utilizing digital tools to optimize processes for high-impact outcomes.
In my recent role as Project Research & Development Coordinator at Fundación Santo Domingo, I designed and managed social programs that emphasized inclusivity and territorial approaches. I conducted data collection and analysis to support informed decision-making, while also facilitating relationships with community stakeholders and institutional partners. My previous experience as Latin America Sustainability Coordinator at Sodexo allowed me to oversee social and environmental KPIs, develop regional sustainability strategies, and collaborate with international teams to drive continuous improvement.
Passionate about open knowledge and social equity, I possess strong public relations and communication skills in both English and Spanish. I am committed to participatory processes and believe in the power of collaboration to achieve meaningful change.
