My role (at JIL) revolves around promoting collaboration and advancing faith-based initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean. One key aspect of my work is leading the development of the LAC Regional Learning Hub, bringing together local and regional partners. I facilitate operations, help members identify research topics, support their studies and dialogues, and assist in publishing findings. An equally important part of my work involves building connections with funding partners to ensure the sustainability of the hub. I also represent JLI’s faith-sensitive mental health and psychosocial support work, connecting it to broader regional and global initiatives.
Another area of focus is the Faith and Positive Change for Children initiative, where I collaborate with UNICEF’s regional office and country offices, as well as global partners such as Religions for Peace and Arigatou International. Together, we work to strengthen faith-based contributions to children´s well-being and community resilience in the region.
