Summary

Architect and passionate for agriculture, with more than 10 years of experience in the design and implementation of urban development projects, mainly in rural areas and areas of social vulnerability within cities. In recent years I have dedicated myself to the cultivation of coffee, cocoa, vegetables and farm animals as well as the commercialisation of these on a small scale, using permaculture and circular farming principles in the area of Honduras in Central America. I currently have Humanitarian Protection status in the UK and wish to continue my professional development.
