Nurse Scientist | PhD | Uterus Transplantation & Women’s Health | Organ Donation & Transplantation | Patient Safety | Medical Innovation | Global Health

My career is built on a decade of experience in nursing, scientific research, and organ donation and transplantation, with a strong foundation in patient safety. This background has evolved into a deep commitment to advancing equitable access to healthcare, positioning my current work at the intersection of women’s reproductive health, transplantation, and global health.

With a Master’s degree and a recently completed PhD, my research explores the frontiers of healthcare through scientific, ethical, and psychosocial lenses. I am highly skilled at managing multiple complex projects simultaneously. Over the past few years, I led my PhD research on uterus transplantation, addressing women's health, infertility, and patient safety, while concurrently coordinating an innovation research project focused on the preclinical validation of a medical device for organ transportation. Navigating these parallel initiatives has allowed me to collaborate extensively with researchers, healthcare professionals, industry partners, and regulatory authorities.

Through the UTx Observatory (utxobservatory.org), I contribute to advancing international knowledge exchange and dialogue on the scientific, ethical, and social dimensions of uterus transplantation.

As a Guest Researcher at Stockholm University, I expanded my research perspectives through an interdisciplinary environment, strengthening my work on fertility, infertility, migration, and integration while further situating my research within the Latin American context.

I am particularly motivated by collaborative, interdisciplinary environments where complex scientific knowledge, supported by robust data management and methodologies, can be translated into practical solutions, inclusive health policies, and impactful partnerships.
