Responsibilities

I am an eighteen-year-old activist and storyteller born in southern Mexico. I have been involved in human rights, climate justice, and gender activism for several years. In my work, I focus on the importance of intersectionality in social movements. I am currently a member of the Youth Advisory Board for the UN Foundation's Girl Up initiative in Mexico and the Youth Advisory Council for World Ocean Day. For my work, I was named Young Leader 2023 by the WOW Foundation.

As an Ambassador, my main objective is to promote environmental awareness through educational resources that frame the current climate crisis as an issue of social and intersectional justice. In addition, I plan to create activities and projects that promote the leadership of the most vulnerable communities in the face of the climate crisis. In this term, I will focus on using writing and advocacy as key tools to motivate climate action among the new generation of leaders.
