Summary

Industrial Civil Engineer with more than 15 years of experience in project management and direction, quality assurance, management and process control, among others. Creator and director of the National Vocational Training Institute of Chile, which in alliance with the government, academically trained people not formally qualified in trades, actively supporting them in their reintegration into the workforce. In recent years, I participated as a volunteer at a non-profit foundation that serves families living in precarious housing. In this job I was in charge of the construction of vertical artificial wetlands, as an irrigation alternative for these families that did not have access to drinking water. This merit allowed me to obtain a prestigious scholarship from the government of my country, to specialize in a master's degree in urban water engineering at the University of Queensland. In June 2024 I will graduate with my master's degree, so I am already looking for a job opportunity that allows me to work in the industrial or environmental area.
