I founded EUChanger in 2018 and have developed our training, coaching and consultancy offer for public interest organisations. I'm a lawyer with over twenty years of experience as an advocate for human rights, the environment and economic justice. From 2011 to 2024, I was a member of Oxfam International’s EU advocacy team, leading on the organisation’s influencing work in various areas of EU policy and legislation, including on financial regulation, climate change, renewable energy, unfair trading practices and corporate governance. I have also worked as an EU policy consultant for public interest organisations on various issues including natural resources governance and human rights.

As a consultant at EUChanger, I assist public interest organisations in reaching out to EU decision-makers, carry out research to support them in developing evidence-based policy recommendations and advocacy, and manage our trainings and communications. I come from Ecuador and hold a master’s degree in Rural Development from Ghent University (2021). I have experience across the public and private sectors, as well as with civil society organisations, contributing to food governance projects in small and medium-sized cities, advocating for fair trade at EU level, and advising organisations on promoting scientific innovation for ecological transition.

I collaborate with EUChanger as a communications trainer. Since 2007, I have worked in communications roles at the EU level—across a think tank, an NGO, and the European Parliament. I previously led the communications team at Friends of the Earth Europe, where I focused on advocacy communications around climate, nature, resource use, corporate power, and democracy. Before that, I managed communications for a British MEP during the EU referendum—on the side of the Remain campaign! Currently, I communicate new economic policy ideas at the ZOE Institute for Future-Fit Economies. I am professionally qualified by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations.
