Lucia Margarita Soriano

I am a Colombian lawyer, whose principal career goal is to become an agent of change and make positive social impact in Colombia. After living in some of the most violent, inhospitable and inequitable places in Colombia, and after witnessing the consequences of war as a child, I am committed to working in order to have a more equal, secure and democratic society. My policy interests include, but are not limited to, land and agriculture issues, the development of the energy sector, and leadership and and governance in Colombia and South America. My particular upbringing, my passion, and my commitment and decision to make of my country a better place to live in, with my knowledge of how land policies should be approached in developing countries, how Latin American congress works and the experience gained through different political campaigns, are unique perspectives and experiences that I expect to share with the MPP class.
