She is passionate about alternative educational processes, community transformation, the development of eco-technologies for rural and suburban life, the fight for people’s rights to a life free of violence, and access to justice. For this reason, she has sought to integrate her knowledge into the causes. Starting with the Earth Charter “Leadership, Sustainability and Ethics” course for young people, she synchronized the pillars that sustain it with her efforts to contribute to improving life on Earth. 

She is currently studying postgraduate studies in Sustainability Sciences at UNAM, developing social research in the area of environmental restoration. Its purpose is to combine knowledge about the biodiversity of bodies of water, human communities and the significant relationships between them. 

“The Earth Charter has been an impetus to rekindle my motivations to work in my community, not only because I managed to feel part of a strong international community, but because it connected me with myself at a time of global crisis. With the Leadership, Sustainability and Ethics course, I recognized the skills that I need to develop to strengthen my leadership in Sustainability. I want to bring the Earth Charter to my community, no one should be left out of this life project.”
