I am a Peruvian student, I am currently pursuing my Master degree studies in Territorial Management and Local Development at the Versailles St Quentin University in Yvelines and I hold a Bachelor degree in Management Sciences and Tourism, from Cusco, Peru. During my studies I had the chance to travel throughout the Latin American countries, where I could observe the causes of many environmental and social issues primarily due to the lack of conservation policies and the absence of regulations in natural resource exploitation which entails to create several socio-ecological conflicts. This is what drove me to pursuit this Master studies. In my free time I am a professional kayaking and rafting instructor, and also a technician in mountains and rivers rescue operations. I speak English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
