Message

At Municipality of Panama, I lead environmental education and Zero Waste programs across 26 districts. I designed a School Recycling Program that has reached more than 14,980 students and educators, with a roadmap to scale to 180 schools.

At Fundación Eco Creando, which I founded, I design community-based environmental and educational programs. I implemented more than 30 recycling programs in schools and companies, reaching over 10,000 students and audiences above 100,000 through environmental-awareness campaigns.

I created Luna Llena de Tambores® and grew it into a participatory cultural platform, delivering more than 128 productions across 32 locations. Its programs have reached approximately 500,000 people, including through cultural tourism, music for healing and youth volunteering.

I also co-founded El Lunario Cultural Center, where I created a music and arts education center serving approximately 150 students; I led it through its successful sale in 2025. My work connects climate action, education and culture through locally led programs and cross-sector partnerships.
