Her interests in these fields stem from her desire to contribute to enhancing the quality of life of individuals, especially of those who are most vulnerable. She is particularly interested in improving the designs and evaluations of public interventions that affect environmental and social outcomes.She recently published a paper, “Community-based monitoring to facilitate water management by local institutions in Costa Rica” in the Proceedings of the National Academy of the United States of America.
