I am excited to embark in this new journey as Finance Manager in the GIZ Transport Team in supporting the projects in all financial and administrative matters. I have been working for GIZ Albania since 2015– starting as an intern and then developing my professional expertise in field related to finance and audit.

I believe that while our singular viewpoint on the environment may differ, its significance remains universal for all. I try to make this a reality every day, through my work and contribution.

I am a transport advisor for the German Development Cooperation (GIZ) in Mexico, where I collaborate on the Transition to an Integrated and Intelligent Public Transport System (TranSIT) and the TUMI E-Bus Mission projects, which aim to reduce emissions in public transport.

Previously, I advised the states of Nuevo León and Sonora on the development of electric public transport projects as part of the C40 Cities Finance Facility cooperation project. Before working with GIZ, I worked as a regional planning coordinator in the Government of the State of Nuevo León, responsible for advising municipalities on the development and updating of their Urban Development Programs. I hold a Master’s degree in Urban Planning from the University of Toronto and a degree in Architecture from the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon.

I have a background in environmental policy and specific expertise in developing, measuring and verification of mitigation strategies in the transport sector.

Position: Project Manager
Location: Germany, Eschborn

Projects:

• Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)

In cities worldwide, we estimate a shortage of at least 250,000 specialized transport and mobility experts, with further expertise required in cross-cutting areas such as urban planning, climate change, and energy. People are our most valuable asset in ensuring a socially just transformation and decarbonization of the transport sector. At TUMI, I coordinate our capacity development efforts and engage with colleagues worldwide to drive change. As part of GIZ’s transport and mobility team, I have worked in various positions in Germany, Mexico, and Ukraine.

As a graduated transport economist, I consider incorrect price signals to be another major barrier to the development of high-quality transport services and infrastructure. We will only tackle climate change if we get the prices right!
