Daniela has a degree in Agroecology and over seven years of experience in the development of projects related to the sustainable use of natural resources; the agroecological transformation of agricultural production systems; restoration projects; and reforestation in production landscapes using agroforestry and silvopastoral systems. She has implemented international environmental and social sustainability practices and standards in the agricultural sector (Rainforest Alliance Certified, RSPO, BPA) and sustainable rural tourism.

Her experience with multi-stakeholder initiatives (public and private sector, and civil society organisations) has focused on the value chains of palm oil and livestock for beef and dairy. Her expertise in Geographic Information Systems is applied to the projects where she is involved.

In her free time she likes to train, run, swim, read and visit different coffee shops to taste the different types of coffee in her country, Colombia. She also likes to travel and attend running races in different places to get to know new places.
