Hello, I am a graduate from the University of Monterrey in Mexico where I got a major in international studies. During my college years I had the opportunity to volunteer in many indigenous communities in the north of Mexico. Those experiences changed my point of view about culture and development and got me particularly interested in rural development, indigenous groups, sustainable development, and how we can empower our indigenous population in order to mitigate climate change. I also have experience collaborating with UNESCO North Committee in Mexico and the Interamerican Culture and Development Foundation in Washington D.C.
