I am a PhD researcher in the Surface Water group at the Department of Water and Climate at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). My research focuses on how water quality and water scarcity interact under global change, particularly in relation to agriculture, ecosystem integrity, and human health.
This portfolio brings together my research, as well as my work in visual communication and stakeholder engagement.
I am an environmental and water resources engineer interested in advancing sustainable water management through evidence-based solutions. With more than eight years of experience across non-profit organizations, community initiatives, and EU policy contexts in Latin America and Europe, I work at the intersection of science, policy, and society. I am particularly interested in translating complex environmental challenges into clear, accessible narratives through visual communication, storytelling, and stakeholder engagement.
