Master of Regional and Metropolitan Sustainable Studies: Autonomous University of Mexico State, Toluca, Mexico. (Jul. 2020- Oct. 2022) GPA:4.00. Supervisor: Dr. Maria del Carmen Salgado Vega. Thesis title: The growth of urban spaces as a factor that determines climate change: the case of the Metropolitan Area of the Valley of Mexico, 1990-2020.
With an educational background in public policy and urban planning, I completed my Master’s degree in Regional and Metropolitan Sustainable Studies. Laying the groundwork for advanced research with instrumental techniques from a multidisciplinary perspective for the solution of environmental regional affairs. Taking a particular interest in how climate change affects urban regions. I specialized in regional development focused on analyzing data by using statistical models. Regional planning and sustainability are closely tied to marketing through the Sustainable Development Goals, a framework of 17 objectives aimed at addressing global challenges like poverty, hunger, health, education, gender equality, and climate change.
Bachelor of Economics: National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico City, Mexico. (Aug. 2012-Aug.2019) GPA: 3.37. Supervisor: Dr. Martinez Rivera, Sergio Efren. Thesis title: Economic growth, current energy pattern and climate change: The case of China, 1978-2010.
Having previously completed a bachelor’s in Economic Sciences, I studied how the current capitalist mode of production works and how human behaviors directly influence the planet through economic-social interactions. In addition, I specialized in disciplines regarding relationships with nature such as Ecology Economics and Environmental Economics which both are interdisciplinary fields that address the interdependence and coevolution of human economies and natural ecosystems.
My experience in social sciences and math has equipped me with a strong foundation in environmental-economic concepts and laid the foundation for understanding economic impact assessments.
