I'm a lawyer born in Costa Rica, raised in the United States, and 7 years into living in the Bay Area, interested in the realm of sustainable development, and more generally interested in social enterprise, data science, education, environmental policy, behavioral economics, environmental economics, law and economics (see a pattern?), and any other topics or undertakings dealing with creating the right conditions for innovation and sustainable human betterment.

Outside (or maybe part) of this, I love traveling (especially internationally), being exposed to new cultures and ideas, learning new languages (English and Spanish speaker learning French and Mandarin) and dances (dabble in ballroom and hip hop), and exploring new places (particularly the great outdoors).

Looking forward to meeting you!
