My research examines the scope and implications of the implementation of
forest-related mitigation actions to climate change to rural livelihood in
Nicaragua. I am analyzing the opportunity cost of implementing measures such
as Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD;
through a case study located in a national park in Nicaragua. Opportunity cost,
transaction and implementation costs of REDD, forest transition, land use
change and social costs and social benefits are part of the elements used in the
analysis.

Skills:
My work experience is focused to Latin America Region and to a lesser extent to international
level through UNFCCC negotiation process. The work I have done brought me the opportunity
to interact, deal and develop communication skills with diverse stakeholders (indigenous
communities, local government, ministers, and politicians) in topics associated to the
management of natural resources. I have had several roles from mediator to negotiator in
conflicts related to this topic. I also have been in charge and been part of research teams in the
following areas: Genetically modified organisms, deforestation, mining activity, textile activities,
water supply, water pollution, risk management and monitoring environmental impacts of
those activities at local level. I have been editor of information to be published in newspapers,
journals or in special issues for illiterates (basic manuals / guidelines that kids and adults with a
low level of education can read and explain in simple words to adults who are identified as the
target groups in some projects). In addition, I was also in charge of project management and
fundraising, not only in an annual – work plan basis but also during and after emergencies (for
instance, Felix Hurricane, flooding and drought). I am good at working in team, under pressure
and following and giving directions and also I am work with little supervision.
