Where I Call Home:
I am from Colombia and have been living at CTC-UMN for four years.
Areas I’m Hoping to Grow:
Social and research context in English (sociolinguistically), public policy, and geopolitics of the global north.
Values That Shape My Work:
Since 2007, I have been working in participatory action research, community work methods, and work with diverse and vulnerable populations from a decolonial perspective and from the epistemologies of the South. My experience, fieldwork, and history allow me to work comfortably with the community and contribute to it in two ways. I work with clear responsibilities, clearly defined tasks, creative freedom, leadership, coordination with key players, and the opportunity to identify a work team based on affinity rather than selection.
A Meaningful Meal or Tradition:
Pasta with chicken and mushrooms
