I am a PhD in government from the University of Essex. My doctoral research focused on the dynamics of foreign aid related to results in reconciliation processes at the sub-national level, using qualitative and quantitative methods.

I have taught a range of undergraduate and postgraduate courses at King’s College, University College of London and the University of Essex in Politics, international relations, methodology and research and conflict. I have extensive teaching experience across different disciplines and levels, including core modules, certified last year by the UK Higher Education Academy through its Associate Fellowship.

While my teaching experience began in international relations and Latin American studies in Colombia, in the last seven years, I have focused primarily on teaching political science, international relations and research at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels in the UK and Colombia.

I have also been a guest lecturer on conflict-related violence, international relations and democracy, particularly in Latin America, which substantively relate to my research in Maastricht, Javeriana University and civil society organisations events.
