My strengths are being forward-thinking, committed, persistent, and resilient. In my work, I am reliable, well organized, detailed oriented, goal and team-oriented.
My personal and social skills allow me to interact in multidisciplinary and international environments. I am an approachable, empathetic, honest, and tactful person.
I have a well-balanced profile as a professional because I have experience working on quantitative and qualitative research. For example, I have worked with almost all the household surveys from Latin American countries and some administrative data but I also have developed skills on indeep interviews. Moreover, I am analytical and inquisitive. I can translate academic information to the general public, which helps to promote research findings.
