Professional Experience: |
I had the opportunity to do an internship in Geneva at the Permanent Mission of Colombia to the UN and other international organizations. This internship allowed me to develop skills to conceptually integrate theories of international relations and the Colombian foreign policy, to operate and use them in the international system. I also learned about the internal dynamics of the Permanent Mission of Colombia that complemented my academic training as a political scientist. I gained an important knowledge and experience of the different relationships that a country must have with international agencies and with other countries, interacting with diplomats from other missions, this experience helped me to contextualize my vision of the international system and the national position. During this internship, I support the work of diplomats in tracking the following organizations: IOM, UNHCR and ILO. For almost two years, I worked at the National Protection Unit, a national security agency responsible for providing protective services and guaranteeing the rights of life, liberty, integrity and security of individuals, groups and communities in situations of extraordinary or extreme risk. This risk is usually a direct result of them exercising their rights such as political and humanitarian activities and many of them are already victims of the Colombian armed conflict.

Education: |
My background in Crisis and Security Management has trained me in the expanding domain of local, national and international security and safety management. Policymaking departments, local and provincial government, international organizations and NGOs, consultancy agents, and private industry, are some of the areas I can apply my expertise. Especially in CSR, I feel that I’m able to raise aware in different social issues and to reassure of strengthening the relations between the public and private sector. The proper understanding of CSR and the value it provides to the environment and to business is very important.
