Personally, PBI was the start of my career. I later did my PhD on gangs in Medellin, where I had contacts from organisations from my time at PBI. That process essentially launched me into academia where I still am. I have collaborated with a host of organisations across Latin America and the Caribbean, focusing on gangs and violence reduction in vulnerable communities. I now have my own PhD students, one of whom researches transitional justice in Colombia. The circle of life!
