Organizational Website 

 

"I am a woman interested in understanding the intersections of GESI and WASH in rural communities in Latin America"

"My lived experience accompanying rural and Indigenous communities has taught me to see water as care, territory, and collective responsibility."

"I am committed to amplifying community voices and ensuring that water governance is inclusive, equitable, and grounded in local knowledge"

Water Experience

I work at the intersection of water governance, gender equity, and community-led processes in rural Latin America. My expertise comes from leading WASH and GESI initiatives that strengthen the capacities of women, youth, and local leaders to participate meaningfully in decision-making about water use and management. I combine technical understanding of rural water systems with lived experience accompanying communities in co-designing solutions, monitoring water quality, and advocating for more inclusive governance. My work challenges traditional power dynamics by centering women’s voices and promoting equitable, sustainable, and community-driven water management.
