About me

I'm a passionate Environmental scientist and sustainability researcher with a strong academic background (PhD researcher in Water and Energy Conservation, MSc in Water Resources Management, BSc in Biology), coupled with extensive practical experience as an environmental consultant and researcher. My expertise spans innovative data analysis (Bayesian Networks, PCA, mixed-methods analysis), stakeholder engagement, and designing impactful interventions for sustainable resource use in domestic settings.

At UWE Bristol, my research explores complex water-energy consumption behaviours through social practice theories, informing practical solutions to reduce household resource use while enhancing comfort and wellbeing. I've successfully led workshops and seminars, collaborating closely with academia, utility providers, and community stakeholders, driving projects from conception through to implementation and dissemination.

I'm passionate about bridging research and real-world impact, continuously engaging with stakeholders to foster innovation and behaviour change. Currently seeking new opportunities in Bristol, UK, to leverage my analytical, communicative, and leadership skills in sustainability consultancy, research roles, or strategic environmental management positions.

Area of expertise

I have experience in field and laboratory work on water and soil pollution issues, as well as in the sustainable management of water resources, particulary on Andean streams. Strong interest in research and development of Environmental and water Management and water quality and bioremediation projects.

Research Interests:
Water and energy nexus use behaviour in households: focusing on theories of social practice and behaviour change to understand the drivers of consumption practices and habits.
Water Quality and Management: Developing and implementing strategies to monitor, assess, and improve the quality of natural water sources.
Data Analysis: Emphasizing innovative analysis of mixed quantitative and qualitative data sets including the use of Bayesian network analysis.
