She also completed a Masters in Human Rights and Education for Peace at the National University in Costa Rica. She obtained her Law Degree at the University of Costa Rica. Gabriela also worked in the NGO sector in Costa Rica as an environmental lawyer for seven years. Her current research interests spring from a dual interest in water policy implications on the one hand, and on the other hand, practices that mix elements of civil society organisation and government responses. She also has experience teaching topics such as water governance, water law and policy, environmental law and policy, international environmental law, water conflicts and controversies, and water and gender.
