Teaching & Clinical Education

Alongside my litigation practice, I have built a parallel teaching trajectory in Colombia. I am the founding coordinator of the Carlos Gaviria Díaz Strategic Litigation Legal Clinic at the Legal Aid Office of the Industrial University of Santander (UIS), where I also taught Constitutional Theory. I designed and delivered the Research Methodologies course in UIS's Master's Program in Human Rights, and served as teaching and research assistant in several seminars at the Universidad de los Andes, including the Centre for Sociolegal Research (CIJUS). This clinical, methodological, and doctrinal experience shapes how I build my own research agenda and how I train students to move fluently between advocacy, evidence, and theory.
