What I'm looking for

Seeking a role in sustainability or economic analysis within an organization focused on international business, offering opportunities for professional growth and impactful contributions to sustainable development.

I am a dedicated sustainability analyst with a strong background in economics and international business, currently working at Anthesis Colombia. My expertise lies in implementing corporate sustainability information systems, ensuring compliance with standards like GRI, CDP, CSRS, and SASB. I have a proven track record of streamlining data collection and reporting processes.

Previously, I served as an economic analyst at the Cali Chamber of Commerce, where I analyzed databases for the tourism industry's supply chain and managed project portfolios. My academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Economics and International Business from Icesi University, where I graduated magna cum laude. My thesis focused on measuring multidimensional poverty vulnerability in Colombian households.

I am proficient in both Spanish and English, with an IELTS score of 7.5, and skilled in software such as Python, Stata, and NVivo. I am passionate about contributing to sustainable development and economic growth through data-driven insights and policy recommendations.
