Diego Aguilar

I am a public servant working on indigenous affairs in the Canadian federal government. I am currently based in the province of Ontario, Canada. Furthermore, I am a Network Leader at the Brantford Immigration Partnership. Before relocating to Canada, I served as a Lawyer and International Relations Coordinator at the Servicio Nacional del Consumidor (SERNAC) in Chile.

I hold an MA in Political Science from the Institute of Public Affairs at the Universidad de Chile and an MA in Global Politics from McMaster University, Canada. Moreover, I earned an LLB from Universidad Alberto Hurtado, Chile. I am interested in transparency and open government, public policies, indigenous affairs and international relations.
