Short description (topic, methods, your role, and impact).
Bridging systems, people, and technology.
I work at the intersection of system dynamics, systems thinking, applied social science, and engineering—turning complex real-world problems into actionable analysis, participatory modeling, and collaborative learning.
About My Work
I’m a bilingual (English/Spanish) researcher and educator with more than two decades of experience across the Americas. My work integrates systems thinking, social science, and practical problem-solving—often in multidisciplinary settings.
Today I’m building a stronger engineering-technology profile while continuing applied research and consulting. I care about rigorous methods, clear writing, and results that people can actually use.
My work is grounded in systems science and system dynamics, with a focus on community-based system dynamics (CBSD), participatory modeling, and group model building. I use causal loop diagrams and feedback analysis to study complex social systems and support collaborative learning and decision-making.
My academic and professional work is also informed by a deep commitment to spirituality and religion, which shape my ethical orientation, sense of responsibility, and understanding of human dignity. I see systems work not only as a technical endeavor, but as a moral and relational practice—one that must remain attentive to meaning, values, and the lived experiences of communities.
