With over five years in the green hydrogen industry, I've noticed a significant male predominance in the field. Empowering women in this sector is crucial; diverse perspectives not only drive innovation but also ensure well-rounded solutions and promote sustainable advancement.

I am an environmental engineer and renewable energy specialist with extensive experience in the development of green hydrogen projects internationally.

With a specialization in Energy Engineering and in the process of obtaining a master's degree in the same area, I have focused my research on identifying the environmental impacts of green hydrogen projects in Uruguay.

In 2024, I was recognized by the Hydrogen Economist as one of the 50 most influential women in the green hydrogen sector worldwide, under the Rising Star category. In 2023, I was selected as one of the National Future Energy Leaders by the WEC in Uruguay.

I began my career in the construction sector. Over the past few years, I have been working on developing renewable energy and green hydrogen projects across the Americas.
