Relevant work experience: I worked with a multidisciplinary research team at the School of Government (Universidad de los Andes) in developing the foundations of a Human Resource Management Policy for the Colombian Public Sector (currently, national and subnational agencies are implementing those recommendations). In recent years (before joining the doctoral program), I worked as a public servant in various positions at the local government in Colombia (in Cali and Palmira).
