I am a transport advisor in the project MiTransporte in Costa Rica, coordinating the national policy support including on e–mobility, freight transport, vehicle regulations as well as innovation and digitalization for low-carbon transport. Before moving to Costa Rica, I worked in the TRANSfer project in Indonesia, the Philippines and South Africa. Prior to joining GIZ in 2011, I researched about urban mobility and worked as an urban planning assistant in Australia. My motivation is to create and share good examples in our partner countries to achieve a global Verkehrswende.

Communications Advisor, based in San José, Costa Rica

Since 2016, I work as a Communications and Public Relations advisor for GIZ in several projects in Costa Rica, focusing on low-carbon development and adaptation to climate change. In 2018, I joined the MiTransporte project and am currently expanding my expertise on sustainable transport, electromobility and inclusive mobility. I love the challenge of finding ways to reach my projects’ very different target groups to inspire a change of mentality or behavior and contribute to reaching Costa Rica’s climate goals. Before joining GIZ, I worked in the PR and press department of a German public utility company.
