Cecilia SáENZ

I am an Ecuadorian professional with a background in International Political Sociology, having completed a master's degree in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have over 12 years of experience in implementing projects focused on biodiversity conservation, Indigenous peoples' rights, sustainable development, and natural resource governance. My career encompasses the management and prevention of socio-environmental conflicts, the promotion of human rights, public policy advocacy, citizen participation, dialogue facilitation, capacity building, and institutional development of civil society organizations.

I have had the opportunity to apply my knowledge in several countries, including Peru, Mexico, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Argentina. My professional commitment is centered on contributing to the development of more participatory, equitable, just, and democratic societies by promoting social and environmental awareness in every space I work in. I am known for being proactive, optimistic, creative, and innovative, with a strong action-oriented mindset and the ability to face challenges with professionalism and passion.

A lover of nature, the sea, laughter, and good coffee.
