Dana Patricia Rubio Rosero

Bogotá

Summary

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Fundación Universitaria del Área Andina and have broadened my expertise through academic exchanges in Environmental Studies at Universidad Tecnológica del Perú (2023) and in Computer Science at the Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales (2025). I will pursue a Master’s in Forensic Psychology at Universidad Internacional de La Rioja starting in October of this year.

During my internship at an educational-psychology–focused NGO, I designed and implemented evidence-based interventions to foster student development and academic resilience. My professional interests span forensic psychology within prison systems and the application of research-driven practices in school environments. I am fluent in English and Spanish and possess working proficiency in French and Italian, which enables me to engage effectively in cross-disciplinary and multicultural collaborations. Outside of my clinical and academic work, I pursue fiction writing as a creative outlet, enriching my perspective and reinforcing my commitment to empathetic, human-centered practice.
