Before the COVID-19 pandemic, she created her consultancy, Innovative Global Advisement. She began cultivating nonprofit clients, advising them on digital and marketing campaigns, finding resources, building partnerships, and networking digitally during in-person constraints. 

She also focused on developing her YouTube Channel, “Alibe’s Sustainable World,” to inform various audiences about Agenda 2023 and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Since her childhood, she has been passionate about and has advocated sustainability. Proud of her work, she continues to develop more episodes and focus on all topics related to sustainable living and practices.  

Since June 2022, she has advised the nonprofit Arigatou International (AI), N.Y. Today, under a yearly part-time contract, she serves as Chief Partnership and Development Officer and Liaison to the United Nations. Headquartered in Tokyo and with offices in Geneva, Nairobi, and New York City, AI develops and sustains multi-stakeholder initiatives to ensure that all children are treated with dignity and all their rights are respected and protected. By engaging diverse religious leaders and faith communities, international agencies, civil society organizations, governments, children, and young people in more than 80 countries and employing an interfaith and intercultural approach, AI aims to bring positive change for children from the grassroots to a global level.

Once again, through AI, she is working with an institution that has deep relations with the United Nations under their special consultative status through the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Thanks to her efforts, AI has recently become affiliated with the United Nations Department of Global Communications (UNDGC).

In her new role, she continues to promote the UN mission, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and other valuable resources for entities outside the UN system. She has built strong ties with staff at all levels and learned about the UN structure and the benefits of partnerships between the UN and civil society. This has given her a great platform to network and connect entities for project development, associations, and event collaborations.

A native of Chile, she has traveled across continents, experienced different cultures, and learned about the need to address global issues through multilateral approaches. Working with local and international NGOs at the UN allows her to better understand the needs and struggles of civil society organizations, the value of corporate CSR initiatives, and the value they bring to communities globally.
