I cannot say "my life was easy", but I can say "it was unique". I have never though that studying Ecotourism could bring me
incredible experiences. During and after five years of study at the university, I have visited many places around Ecuador, met people
from different cultures, and work in incredible projects. In this journey, I was able to know and love my country. However, I have had
to face some challenges and situations during my studies, personal life and career. Without these experiences I would not be the
person who I am. Life has taught me that all sacrifices have a great reward, never give up no matter what, and as life is short we
always have to do our best. Life could not be easy but our future is on our own hands. Our decisions will define our successes and
failures. However we always have to go ahead and make our existence worthwhile.
The undergraduate program in Ecotourism of ESPOCH has become one of the most successful Ecotourism programs in
Ecuador. The wide variety of courses, the well-balanced relationship between theory and practice, and the opportunities for students
to be part of local and regional projects are some of the features in Ecotourism Program that have made its professionals highly
recognized in the whole country. Ecotourism curriculum involves disciplines related to environmental, cultural and tourism studies,
which gives its students a multidisciplinary approach. Personally, Botany, Anthropology, Management of Cultural Resources,
Territorial Planning, Alternative Constructions & Trails Design, and Management of Protected Areas have had a significant influence
in my actual academic interest. In Botany, I learned taxonomy and traditional uses of different plants, which has allowed me to
identify the different Ecuadorian species used in Ecuadorian gardens. I realize that the use of plants and gardens design is limited.
Anthropology course transformed the way I used to see life. It made me comprehend that the behavior and thoughts of human beings
are strongly connected with culture and are almost always reflected in people's lifestyle and living spaces. M. Cultural Resources
taught me many kinds of methodologies and strategies to analyze, plan, evaluate, and protect the material and immaterial cultural
heritage. In Territorial Planning course, considering physical space, policies, and socio-cultural, ecological, and productive economic
conditions, I developed a land-use plan for Ishkay Yaku Community in Pastaza Province. In Alternative Constructions, I not only
learned to design huts, outdoors trails, and touristic facilities but also I learn about ancient and traditional Andean Construction
Techniques. In Protected Areas, my group of work and I formulated a conservation and management proposal to decrease the
environmental impact caused by native people living in an area in Llanganates National Park.
Experiencing different areas of study like natural resources management, territorial planning, environmental and cultural
conservation, and tourism, and having done some fieldwork, I realized that my research interest involve the design of attractive
landscapes for people where history, environment, and people could coexist. I consider Landscape Architecture Program very suitable
for me because it promotes not only the physical improvement of outdoors areas but also their sustainable development creating a
balanced interaction between landscape design, human beings, and the environment.
I am confident that my knowledge and experience in ecology, botany, environmental interpretation, cartography and SIG,
anthropology, ecosystem management, biodiversity management, territorial planning, pollution and environmental impacts,
alternative constructions & trails design, audit of environment impact, and management of protected areas will make a great
contribution for doing research in Landscape Architecture.
Moreover, I have had the opportunity to work in some projects with prestigious organizations such as the World Tourism
Organization (UNWTO), The European Committee for Agriculture and Training (CEFA), The Autonomous Decentralized Municipal
Government of Tena (a canton in the Amazon Region), and as a volunteer in the Galapagos National Park. After my graduation, I
worked in my university as a professor. This extraordinary opportunity reaffirmed my desire to continue my graduate studies, so I
could become a better professor by improving my academic formation.
Since 2004, I have been working with my family in a conservation project in our property in The Galapagos Island. We have
been reforesting with endemic species, creating citrus forest, eradicating invasive species, and making gardens with endemic and
non-aggressive introduced species looking for a balance. In the future, we also want to build geodesic domes by using bamboo, and
expand this kind of project to the whole islands.
Korea is an amazing country. I really admire how Korea succeeded despite all the difficulties that this country had to afford in
the last century, the courage of its people when they sacrificed themselves looking for a better future for next generations, the actual
balance between development and the protection of natural and cultural resources, and the impressive Korean culture and traditions
which have survived even time passes. I am sure that Korea is a great country that is why I would like to study there and also learn
more about Korean Culture. Then, I will do my best to improve the relationships between South Korea, my country and the whole
world.

Goal of study &

o Goal of study, title or subject of research, and detailed study plan
Study Plan
My goal in pursuing a master degree in Landscape Architecture is to research and learn the tools that will guide me to improve
Ecuadorian landscapes. I am sure that by the time I finish my graduate studies, I will have designed amazing green areas with
well-developed natural trails that will not only reflect and enhance the huge Ecuadorian natural biodiversity but also incorporate
cultural ancient patterns and techniques in their design.
I am sure that this program will provide me with tools, knowledge and the experience for developing outstanding research. I
will be able to design amazing and sustainable outdoor areas that might usher in a new era of landscape management in my country.
Brief description of possible research topics:
- Landscape management of Miconia Zone in The Galapagos Islands: The shrubby belt of endemic Miconia robinsoniana is
decreasing because many farmers deforest to place massive crops destroying this protected areas and the landscape.
- Landscape architecture and Ancient Culture: I would like to create green areas integrating ancient knowledge in which cultural
signs, cultural meanings, and ancient water engineer systems will be essential parts of their design. Moreover, I would like to do an
historical study of how Andean communities have planned landscape according crops, and a historic study of the Ecuadorian gardens.
- Landscape architecture applied in resorts: Define variables and indicators in order to design landscapes with self- sustaining
ecosystems.
- Analysis of the Ecuadorian Landscape Planning: Analyze conditions, programs, activities and policies that Ecuador does in order
to plan and protect the landscape.

Future Plan
o Future plan in Korea or another country after study in Korea
after Study
I am sure that after studying at South Korea, I will become an outstanding researcher and professional in landscape architecture.
I will contribute with my knowledge to improve and restore Ecuadorian landscapes. I strongly believe that venturing in landscape
architecture will help me to revolutionize the management of conservation areas and cities in Ecuador and to transform actual
conditions of population centers creating territories where nature, culture and human relationships are well balanced. Thus, I would
like to get involved in the direction of public institutions in the Galapagos Islands such as the president of the Governing Council of
the Special Regime of Galapagos or the director of the Galapagos National Park.
I also want to become the Minister of the Environment in order to plan, analyze and define projects, strategies and policies to
protect and manage the Ecuadorian landscapes.
Moreover, I will help to improve the actual knowledge of the universities in my country, so I would like to work as a part time
university professor while I work in other conservation projects.
