I am a public policy researcher and data analyst with 7 years of experience working at a non-governmental organization that aimed to enrich public policy decision-making with rigorous analysis. My work focused on various topics in education, including gender equality in STEM, the economic returns of higher education, and school choice in Mexico. I was also responsible for two websites that used data to help students, parents, and schools make evidence-based decisions about education.
I am originally from Mexico, where I studied sociology, but I have also lived in the USA, Japan, and Spain. Currently, I am studying a Master’s Degree in Gothenburg, Sweden. I built this site to showcase my experience and demonstrate the skills I can contribute in a professional role.

These are the projects I was most involved in while working at IMCO, a non-government organization based in Mexico City. Some of them were policy analyses aimed to contribute to public debate, while others were websites targeted directly at students, parents, and schools.
Most of my work as a researcher and data analyst involved some form of writing. I regularly wrote reports, policy analysis briefs, opinion articles, grant proposals and social media material, and it was one of my favorite parts of my job. This is a selection of that work.
As a spokesman for the projects I led, I regularly gave interviews and represented them at events.
I used R most days in my previous role. Tasks like merging, filtering and analyzing data were part of all the projects I worked on. I also wrote scripts to replicate most of these tasks and be able to save time when I was working on recurring projects. I also know how to build basic dashboards using Shiny.
I produced analysis and visualizations to prepare data for our web tools and for analysis, to answer research questions, and to turn our results into stories that communicate our findings to various audiences.
I was a spokesman for the projects I led and regularly gave interviews, participated in forums and represented them at conferences with stakeholders such as our users, donors or public officials.
I’ve published several research reports, policy analysis briefs, opinion articles, grant proposals and essays. I also routinely drafted and collaborated in writing press releases, social media materials and presentations.
I was in charge of several analysis projects and web tools. My responsabilities included planning their goals and stages, collecting and analyzing its data, tracking its processes and outcomes, and working together with other teams to make sure the projects moved along timely and appropriately.
As part of the data tools aimed at students and parents I was responsible for at IMCO, as well as in a later position as a costumer support agent, I have experience at supporting user and clients.
I’m always looking to learn new subjects and skills. These are the courses that have contributed something important to me.
I started working at IMCO, a non-government organization, while finishing college and I worked there for seven years. After that I had roles as an Online Data Analyst and a Customer Service Representative. I am currently writing my thesis for the Master’s in Sociology at the University of Gothenburg.
