About me

I am a political scientist with a master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree, focusing on international cooperation and disability rights. With a passion for global impact and a knack for bridging diverse cultures, I specialize in public relations, corporate affairs, networking, research, and project management.

As the Deputy Manager of International Cooperation at Fundación Descúbreme, I have led the foundation's expansion into Europe and Latin America for over six years. My leadership has significantly advanced the internationalization of the foundation and played a pivotal role in regionalizing the Zero Project across Ibero-America with a focus on Spanish-speaking countries.
