Hello, my name is Paola, and I live in El Salvador. I have a degree in International Relations from the University of El Salvador, and I also have a specialization in Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL) in development projects; with a MEAL DPro certification endorsed by PM4NGOs.
In 2021, I completed a six-month professional internship at the Embassy and Consulate of the Republic of Panama in the Republic of El Salvador. Thanks to this practical experience I broadened my knowledge on the management of Bilateral Diplomatic Missions, including consular, political, commercial, cultural, administrative and other matters.
Later, in 2022, I started an internship with the United Nations Development Program Acceleration Lab in El Salvador. From the Solutions Mapping practice of AccLabSV, I led the strategy for the ''Grassroots Environmental Solutions Mapping Tour to Community Organizations in El Salvador''. In this initiative, a total of ten field visits were made to non-governmental organizations located throughout El Salvador. The data collected from these visits resulted in the creation of an open repository that is available in Appropedia as ''Cartografías Líquidas''.
I am currently working for the Appropedia Foundation as a User Support Specialist:)
