Summary
Carolina Fernández is a mobility and transportation engineer with nine years of experience combining industrial design sensibilities and data-driven analysis to advance sustainable, equitable urban transport across Latin America. She has supported projects for institutions like C40, CAF and the World Bank, tracking electric bus deployments, modeling bike-share emissions with Python at Purdue, and advising on bike-share and cycling infrastructure planning. Fluent in Spanish and English, she blends technical skills in Python, R and GIS/design tools with hands-on project coordination from NUMO and Despacio. A co-founder of BiciParchadas, she brings a community-centered, gender-aware perspective to mobility interventions that often uncovers social vulnerability and accessibility gaps overlooked by conventional planning. Currently pursuing advanced leadership programs and a doctorate, she pairs academic rigor with practical implementation to turn urban mobility research into policy and operational change.
