I turn complex priorities into structures that hold across teams, time, and change.
Growing up in Guatemala during and after the peace process, I saw the long and often invisible work of reconstruction that follows conflict. It shaped how I understand peace: not as single outcomes, but as changes in underlying structures, relationships, and models. Peace, as I came to understand it, was less an endpoint than an ongoing process, one that depended on shifting the conditions that drove conflict in the first place.
That understanding shapes how I work across philanthropic, multilateral, and nonprofit settings. I work in the space between strategy and execution: helping leadership see what's not connecting, framing the choices that matter, and building the systems that let teams move with both speed and integrity. I use monitoring, evaluation, and learning as sensemaking tools, designing for root causes and staying iterative as conditions shift.
Over nearly a decade, I've gone from coordinating projects to building the systems behind them and advising the people running them. I pay attention to how the operational, relational, and strategic layers fit together, and I move quickly when something needs to change. In practice, that means surfacing what leadership isn't seeing, building tools that turn data into decisions, getting cross-functional teams aligned, and translating complexity into something a board, a funder, or a partner can act on.
