Virginia works at the Governance Global Practice of the World Bank, where she is part of the team of the Global Program for Justice and the Rule of Law (GP-JROL). During her time with the GP-JROL, she worked on the JUPITER project and supported the development of a data-collection tool and analytical methodology to assess the state of judicial service delivery in client countries, focusing on fragile and conflict-affected settings. Her research with the team has focused on proposing policy and practical solutions to the main constraints faced by judicial systems, as well as exploring the determinants of successful institutional reform more broadly. Virginia graduated as a lawyer from the Universidad de los Andes (Colombia) and holds a Master of Laws in International Legal Studies from Georgetown University. Prior to joining the World Bank, she worked as an attorney at a corporate law firm in Bogota and as a judicial law clerk at the Constitutional Court of Colombia.
