Alexandra Hill Tinoco is a Salvadoran politician who has been El Salvador's Foreign Minister since June 2019.

Early life and education[edit]

Hill Tinoco is the daughter of Jaime Hill, who was president of the Anti-drug Foundation of El Salvador (Fundasalva) and alderman of the municipal council of San Salvador.[1] She has a Bachelor of Arts in political science and Latin American studies from Boston University and a master's degree from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, where she was a NIDA Humphrey Fellow and specialized in public policy management, prevention of drug use and drug abuse treatment.[1][2][3]

She is a member of the Hill family, whose roots go back to James Hill, an Englishman who sailed to El Salvador in order to start a coffee-planting business. The business developed greatly by using new strategies to develop new coffee mixtures.[4]

Hill Tinoco meets with U.S. Secretary of State Michael R. Pompeo at the Department of State in Washington D.C. in October 2019.

Career[edit]

Hill Tinoco worked as executive director of Fundasalva, an NGO focused on the prevention and treatment of drug abuse.[2] She was a member of the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission in 2006 and led the Drug Reduction Section in 2012.[2]

Hill Tinoco has worked in the Organization of American States and with the United States Department of State and the United Nations Office on Drugs.[1] Along with Elizabeth Lira, she authored the book The Other Face of Peace (1995).[2] Hill Tinoco was the first cabinet appointment announced by President-elect Nayib Bukele, on Twitter, in May 2019.[1]
