Carolina has developed an active practice in the impact of new technologies on Competition Law, focusing her work on digital markets and disruptive technologies, such as blockchain and cryptocurrency, having a certification in these matters granted by Chainalysis and forming part of the LACChain Chile community, an initiative of the Innovation Laboratory of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB-LAB), for the development and implementation of technological infrastructures. 

She currently collaborates with the Max Planck Institute regarding the role of innovation and new technologies in sustainable development. At the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, she is a professor of Blockchain and Competition and Privacy in Digital Markets courses, directing the digital markets specialization of the competition certification.
