She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Biological Sciences from the Universidad Catolica de Quito, Ecuador. Prior to attending to Yale, she worked in two Ecuadorian NGOs in the management and monitoring of conservation projects, and did ecological research in the Galapagos Islands. Carolina also worked in watershed conservation in Madagascar, where she was one of the four interns to participate in WWF’s Global Youth Internship Program. She is interested in economics, governance and policy around water, biodiversity and climate change. She is currently working on this subject in the Santa River basin, in Peru. Her research in this watershed started during the summer, when she collaborated with IUCN’s office for South America in the area of water resources management and adaptation to climate change.
