María Cecilia Rodríguez (born September 12, 1967) is an Argentine public policy maker. She was appointed Minister of Security of Argentina on December 4, 2013.
Rodríguez was born in Buenos Aires. She enrolled at the Universidad del Salvador, a Jesuit university in Buenos Aires, in 1985 and graduated with a degree in Political Science in 1990. She entered public service in 1991 as an electoral history researcher at the National General Archives, later serving as an assistant in the Ministries of Education (1992) and the Interior (1993). She taught history, economic, and sociology at the IAES college preparatory school (1991–92); and social policy at the Argentine National Gendarmerie Officers' School (1994–95) and the Catholic University of Salta from 2000 to 2002.
Rodríguez joined Argentina's White Helmets humanitarian assistance organization as a project planning official in 1994. She contributed in this capacity to White Helmet missions in the Gaza Strip (youth sports); Honduras and Nicaragua (health crisis management in the aftermath of Hurricane Mitch); Bolivia (Chagas disease mitigation); Paraguay (family farming); and Argentina itself (flood relief). Rodríguez served in this post until 1999, and was made a member of the United Nations Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) in April of that year. Her later humanitarian projects include sports development for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (2002), as well as disaster relief planning for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in El Salvador (2001) and Panama (2005).
