a little bit more about me:

 

Before shifting towards creative writing, I worked as a senior researcher on public policy and public administration. My research and academic writing is focused on innovation in the public sector. My most recent work explores how cities can become more adaptive and resilient to environmental and social pressures. A list of scholarly and research publications can be found here.

 

I earned a B.A. in Political Science (cum laude) from Davidson College in North Carolina (USA), a Masters in Public Policy from the Hertie School of Governance, and a PhD in Governance, also from the Hertie School. I was born in Guatemala.
