    About me

    I am an Associate Professor at the University of Santiago of Chile (USACH) and a Collaborating Researcher at the Center for Work, Health & Well-being at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, where I completed my postdoctoral fellowship. I also serve as an Adjunct Researcher at the Crea+Innova&Transforma Research Center at Universidad Católica de la Santísima Concepción (UCSC).

    My work sits at the intersection of organizational behavior, management, and occupational health, with a focus on employee well-being, work–technology relationships, job insecurity, job performance, and workplace neurodiversity. I co-lead national and international projects that develop evidence-based strategies to improve working conditions and organizational effectiveness. My research has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and I have contributed chapters to internationally recognized books.

    Beyond research and teaching, I have successfully led executive diploma programs at USACH and held leadership roles, including Secretary General of the International Network for Modernization and Innovation in Public Management (REMINGEP). I earned my Ph.D. in Business Administration from the University of Chile and was a Visiting Ph.D. Student at the University of Lisbon.

    I am a native Spanish speaker with advanced English and intermediate Portuguese. I specialize in structural equation modeling and mixed quantitative–qualitative approaches.
