My name is Yenny Mancera. I am a civil engineer from the Universidad de la Salle (Colombia), where I got involved in research projects on the use of alternative construction materials, making my way into the world of structural design through the project of a pedestrian bridge in guadua for places of difficult access.
From there I started working in LinceAndina, a structural design company and after that I worked for 3 years in the public sector, where I learned the importance of project formulation in the construction sector and therefore I did a master’s degree in project management at the American University of Europe.
At the end of these studies, I was given the opportunity to travel to Spain where I did an expert course in BIM Manager at the European University of Valencia, without leaving aside my interest in researching alternative materials for construction, and focusing my previous knowledge in my current studies in the Master of Circular Economy at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, where I also work on a research project on acoustic insulation made from waste.
I am passionate about nature and animals, so in my free time I enjoy walks with my family to parks or the mountains and I take care of some puppies; I love crafts and artwork, so I take advantage of some discarded materials to make furniture and ornaments for my house or my friends and neighbours.
