Later she worked as a consultant for several institutions such as International Conservation, Ministry of Indigenous Affairs, CARE, among others. She was involved in various indigenous projects in the Bolivian low-lands learning about the differences between indigenous cultures and gaining more experience about rural development in Bolivia. She wrote her first published investigation for a United Nation's office, an ethnography about the Baure indigenous group.
In 2003 she took over the N.G.O. Aguarague in Santa Cruz, in the Bolivian low-lands, and started to work mainly in development projects and in ecological and cultural investigations.
