Amelia is an expert in coordinating the work of teams of lawyers as well as participating in legal analysis and the environmental impact of projects, providing advice to companies and unions, and reviewing the application of environmental regulations and guidelines concerning projects.

She holds a master’s degree in environmental law from Chile’s Universidad del Desarrollo, and a degree in legal and social science and a diploma in environmental law from the Universidad de Chile.
