Together, we can advance
climate action
that supports development, resilience,
and inclusive prosperity.

Hi, I'm Jam. I'm an international climate and sustainable development practitioner. I work alongside public and private institutions to co-create climate and development strategies and analyses that are technically rigorous, financially credible, and grounded in development priorities. My work spans mitigation, adaptation, and climate finance — focusing on working together to translate long-term vision into actionable and inclusive pathways.

My why

Climate strategies are most effective when they are co-created.

My background bridges engineering and policy — a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Costa Rica and a Master’s degree in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy from the University of Minnesota. Over time, I have gained increasing regional experience working at the intersection of technical solutions, policy decisions, public finance, and social priorities, collaborating across sectors and policy objectives — including climate change mitigation and adaptation.

Through this work, I have seen that climate strategies are most effective when they are co-created — when stakeholders come together to navigate trade-offs, align development priorities, and build shared ownership. Technical rigor matters. Financial credibility matters. But so do institutional realities, local context, and long-term vision.

I work in climate and development because I believe the transition to low-carbon and climate-resilient futures can support inclusive prosperity when it is thoughtfully designed, grounded in local priorities, and built collectively.

01

Technically rigorous

Open-source scenario modelling across energy, transport, AFOLU, and waste — scrutiny-ready analysis that holds up in technical review and before ministries of finance.

02

Financially credible

Cost-benefit analyses and investment pathways that translate ambition into numbers the treasury, multilateral banks, and private counterparts can underwrite.

03

Co-created with stakeholders

Workshops, bilaterals, and participatory scenario design so that ministries, subnational authorities, industry, and civil society own the pathway — not just receive it.

04

Grounded in local context

Regional experience across Costa Rica, Jamaica, Guatemala and the broader LAC region. Fluent in English and Spanish. Based in San José.
