BIO

I am a public health practitioner and DrPH candidate at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, currently serving as Project Director of the VIDA Project based in the Peruvian and Bolivian Amazon at World Vision. My work focuses on strengthening climate-resilient health systems in the Amazon regions of Peru and Bolivia, with particular attention to vulnerable populations exposed to climate-sensitive diseases.

I have extensive experience in designing and implementing large-scale development and public health programmes, particularly in low-resource settings. My work bridges research, policy, and practice, with a strong emphasis on translating evidence into actionable strategies for strengthening health systems.

 

My areas of expertise include climate change and health, neglected tropical diseases, infectious diseases, including vector-borne diseases, and community-based health interventions. Through the VIDA Project, I collaborate with government agencies, international organisations, and local communities to enhance surveillance systems, improve service delivery, and strengthen governance for climate adaptation in the health sector.
