Tania Isabel Madriaga Flores (born 23 February 1972) is a Chilean politician, sociologist[1][2] and former member of the Chilean Constitutional Convention.[3][4][5][6][7]

She previously served as Director of the Municipal Planning Secretariat (SECPLA) of Valparaíso between 2017 and 2020.[12]
Professional career
She completed her primary and secondary education in Antwerp –Belgium–, Havana –Cuba–, and Chile, as her family went into exile in 1979, returning to the country in 1986.[12]
In 1993 she began her studies in Sociology at the University of Concepción, graduating as a sociologist.[12] She later earned a master's degree in Social Sciences, with a specialization in Sociology of Modernization, from the University of Chile.[12]
Her academic training also includes diplomas in Public policies and local management for the prevention of alcohol and drug consumption and trafficking and in Strategic management of associative and cooperative organizations, both obtained at the University of Chile.[12]
Professionally, she worked in several Chilean municipalities, including Renca, La Reina, Pedro Aguirre Cerda, and Ñuñoa.[12] In 2017, she assumed responsibility for coordinating the reconstruction of the Puertas Negras sector following the major fire that affected Valparaíso on 2 January of that year.[12]
She also served as Director of the Municipal Planning Secretariat (SECPLA) of Valparaíso from 2017 to 2020, during the first administration of Mayor Jorge Sharp.[13][14][15]
