My Story

Anthropologist with masters in urban development and candidate for Public and Urban Policy PhD. Ample experience in the nonprofit sector promoting civic engagement and participatory strategies in different countries and topics to achieve social capital and wellbeing.

Currently the Executive Director of Keralty Compassionate Communities in the US and Fundacion Keralty in Colombia, nonprofit focused on developing models and interventions that empower communities to achieve better health and wellbeing while also working with the healthcare sector to connect them to the true needs of their communities and to transform the way healthcare is provided. We lead the implementation of Compassionate Healthcare which aims at including loneliness and SDOH assessments and connecting through social prescriptions with resources in their own communities that can help them and improve their wellbeing. Our second line of work is Compassionate communities which aims at strengthening social capital and community based care for people with high levels of dependency (mental health, disabilities, end of life) so that they and their family achieve better wellbeing. Our third line of work is Healthy Rural Communities which trains local leaders on early health alerts and builds on community resources to transform health care outcomes. And finally we have our wellbeing program for health care teams to reduce and prevent burnout, increase wellbeing and teamwork.
