Researcher with experience in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in community and hospital settings in Guatemala, with a strong focus on transmission dynamics in low- and middle-income countries. My work integrates epidemiology, microbiology, and environmental health approaches to understand the spread of resistant bacteria across humans, animals, and environmental interfaces. I currently serve as Field Coordinator of the Antimicrobial Resistance project at the Center for Health Studies, Universidad del Valle de Guatemala, where I contribute to the ARCH study, investigating colonization with extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacterales in both community and hospital settings. My research has also explored water quality and community perceptions of drinking water safety, providing critical insights into environmental pathways of exposure. This experience directly supports the proposed project, which examines AMR transmission through drinking water, soil, and animal fecal contamination under a One Health framework.
