Catalina García

Catalina Garcia is a Chilean educational psychologist. She has always worked in contexts that seek equity and respect for diversity because she believes more opportunities can and should be open. She has carried out university teaching, research projects, and professional intervention, working with teachers, families and gifted students, students with disabilities, migrants, indigenous people, and students from academically deprived contexts, among others. Since 2014, she has been Director of Inclusion at the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, leading actions for access, academic and emotional support, curricular adjustments, and monitoring. In 2020, she joined an initiative that supports women in prison for their access to higher education, and in 2022 it became an unprecedented program in Chile, located at Inclusion Directorate. The ELEDUC program continues to grow and plans to accompany 46 women in 2025. Catalina loves her husband and two sons, and lives happily with them and their dogs, cats, and birds.
