When I started studying environmental engineering, I discovered an interest in the balance that can be found between industry and the environment. As my undergraduate studies progressed, I increased my interest in air quality and the impact it has on the life and health of people.
I chose to do my thesis on the study of pollutants that are harmful to human health
as particulate matter and its behaviour during the mandatory quarantine in the city of Bogota due to the contingency caused by covid 19.
, while doing my thesis and taking other courses, I gained knowledge on climate change issues, which allowed me to understand in-depth the relationship between
phenomenon, air quality and,
, the high consumption of non-sustainable energies worldwide.
, when researching and analyzing the measures that can be applied to contribute in part to climate change, I observed that the path of
and greater implementation of renewable energies would have a positive effect with respect to the emissions that we currently generate.
, during
I did an academic internship at Telefonica Colombia or commercially Movistar in the department of
, where I had a positive performance and acquired experience and knowledge about corporate
focused on the
and telecommunications sector. Following
work experience, in 2021 I joined the
CI Milpa SA, which is a family
and where I currently participate in areas of presidency, environmental
and
projects. Among my work objectives is the creation of the
and environmental departments in the
, where I can perform from my knowledge in environmental engineering based on the
and public policies that govern us nationally and internationally.
, from the
theme, one of the goals is the development and implementation of sustainable
projects, taking into consideration that Colombia currently has a high potential for the use of solar and wind
, in addition to having about 70% of its
matrix based on hydropower.
Considering the above, I believe that the Georgia Institute of Technology and the program offered by the master's degree in sustainable
and environmental
fits adequately with the learning topics of my interest. Because the curriculum is multidisciplinary and focuses on executing in the practice of industries and companies everything related to
. Another point that would be enriching for my career is that the institute focuses on analysis and problem solving which I consider a valuable skill to apply in a country like Colombia whose political, social, economic and environmental context is very varied. For
it would be an honour to be able to study at one of the best universities that have expertise in the field of
and
, as well as to be able to meet and learn from faculty members who are leaders in environmental
.
, like many other professionals in the environmental field, I hope through these studies to be able to positively support a
and my country through correct environmental
and the application of clean energies.
