Profile

Medical Doctor. Specialization in health quality management. Master’s in epidemiology. Business administrator and economist. Candidate for a master’s in public health and biostatistics at Florida International University. More than 15 years of experience in the health sector as a doctor and also as a manager and researcher, I have learned about the complexities of social problems, health inequities, and the interdependence between politics, economy, culture, and scientific knowledge. Unfortunately, many times we are biased with a single perspective and forget the whole, which prevents us from effectively solving problems in the real world. My goal is to have a more holistic and closer view of reality and to be able to contribute to the improvement of living and health conditions in communities. I am also fascinated by the design of research projects, the development of new products/services, and pushing the boundaries of knowledge in various fields. I have extensive experience in leading health teams and research projects; also in coordinating emergency services, hospitalization, home medicine, and referral/contra-referral services, as well as extensive experience as a scientific liaison physician (MSL).
