My name is Mercedes, I have a degree in Environmental Sciences, and I focus my work on  project design, environmental policy development, risk assessment and managment and climate change studies. I'm passionate about finding innovative and sustainable solutions to today's environmental challenges.

Throughout my career, I've acted as a bridge between the productive sector and the government, helping to build public policies that are truly applicable and grounded in people's real-life needs.

What I like about Rice/Houston:

Plus, from day one, the university staff members make you feel welcome and at home. Thank you for this!

What I like about Fulbright:
