I am a sociologist (B.S.) and Anthropologist (M.S.) interested in the fields of urban
studies, identity and environmental issues. Also, I have been contributing to art galleries - and artists - in Santiago de Chile since 2014, as well as been awarded research grants in the areas of Design, heritage and food, Urban Anthropology, among others. My skills are mainly focused in community outreach and qualitative research, including work with families, children, urban organizations and indigenous communities. My interest and work are driven by a strong conviction in human rights, social equality and grassroots development. Work History
