Summary

I’m an international development leader with over 15 years of experience managing complex, multimillion-dollar programs across Latin America, primarily in governance, citizen security, and violence prevention. I’ve led large-scale USAID and federal initiatives across Mexico and Guatemala, uniting diverse stakeholders—from government to civil society—to achieve measurable impact. Known for strategic vision and adaptive leadership, I thrive at the intersection of innovation, systems thinking, and public policy. Whether launching prevention models, scaling evidence-based interventions, or negotiating high-level partnerships, I bring structure, agility, and purpose to every project. Currently open to leadership opportunities — especially roles that demand cross-cultural insight, strategic execution, and systems-level thinking.
