She has spent the past 6 years managing projects focused on sustainability for public and private organizations (Veolia, Inter-American Development Bank, Oxfam, and Cooperatives, among others).

Currently, she works at Ship2B, supporting social entrepreneurs to improve their social and environmental impact with a triple bottom line (a business concept where companies commit to measuring their social and environmental impact—in addition to their financial performance).
