• NDC Transport Initiative for Asia (NDC-TIA)
• Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)

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.

• Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)
• Transition Towards an Integrated, Accessible and Smart Public Transport System in Mexico (TranSIT)

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.

• Advancing Transport Climate Strategies (TraCS)
• Promotion of Electric Mobility in Kenya
• Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)

I am Advisor at the Transport and Climate Change at GIZ Kenya, where I have been for 7 years.

I have a background in environmental policy and specific expertise in developing, measuring and verification of mitigation strategies in the transport sector. I have been instrumental in the growth of the transport portfolio in Kenya particularly through project preparations, active ecosystem support measures and partner engagements. I am currently working on a bilateral project on “Promotion of E-Mobility in Kenya” and is also handling activities implemented by the Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI) E-bus mission in Africa.

I am particularly motivated to support formalisation of public transport operations in Africa.

• NDC Transport Initiative for Asia (NDC-TIA)
• Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)

I am a Communications Specialist with a degree in Political Science. I have a passion for all things communication, climate justice, and gender equity. All three of these topics align in my work at TUMI, where my main task is supporting Women Mobilize Women, communicating on their global activities, and advocating for feminist transport policy. Before joining TUMI in July of 2022, I worked with other GIZ transport projects, gaining experience in event management and capacity development. 

• Cities and Climate Change (CiClim)
• Transformative Urban Mobility Initiative (TUMI)

I am coordinating the mobility component of the project Cities & Climate Change (CiClim) at GIZ Mexico, where we work with five cities and the federal level. From 2013-2017, I engaged as part of the transport & mobility team at GIZ headquarters in Germany. Before that, I had the chance to accompany the development of the first cycling paths in the city of Lviv (Ukraine) and to investigate the financial, regulatory and practical challenges of urban public transport in Ukrainian cities.

As graduated transport economist of the Technical University of Dresden, I consider wrong price signals in the transport sector an essential barrier for the development of high-quality transport infrastructure and services. We only will tackle climate change if we get the prices right!
