Candidate Ph.D. Sustainable Development at Universidad Galileo, Guatemala. M.A., M.Sc. Global Studies: A European Perspective from Roskilde University and Leipzig Universität and a Candidate M.A. in Social Sciences from Universidad Francisco Marroquin. I am an educator, historian, and entrepreneur.
My research focuses on the economics of human relationships, sustainable development and the cultural and political impact of these interrelations. As well, I aim to analize the historical development of societies leaded by the principles of Rational Selfishness, Individualism, Objectivism and Capitalism Laissez-Faire while understanding the ecological, historical and cultural impacts and processes of the North-South global relationships. I am a higly qualified academic with global and international expertise. I have in-depth expertise of multidisciplinary approaches to globalization and I am a consultant in the area.
