Wonderful UBC Colleagues

Right after I finished my studies, at was hired by UBC to run a project of water management in Costa Rica. I had just wonderful colleagues from UBC and I had the opportunity to meet other researchers from France, USA and Costa Rica, and also local people there. As a Latin, I was the bridge between Costa Rican`s idiosyncrasy and the world of academics and research. After 4 years, I am still developing projects with all of them – I am so pleased and grateful!
