Helsinki
Born and raised in Mexico City, I moved to Finland in 2012, and it has been my home ever since. Over the past 22 years, my journey has encompassed studies in Literature, Intercultural Communication, and Administration, alongside extensive volunteer and service work. I have taught English in Palestine and California (to immigrants) and engaged in community service in Malaysia and Finland. I have worked in the learning and development sector in Finland.
My experience includes collaborating with organizations and institutions dedicated to fostering community, creativity, inclusion, diversity, and sustainability. I am deeply passionate about building strong communities, developing educational materials, and advocating for equity, feminism, and environmental sustainability.
