About me

I was born in Mexico City Metropolitan Zone, but I have lived in several places: Los Angeles, in the United States; Tejupilco, in Tierra Caliente, Mexico City; Cuernavaca; and London.

When I studied for my BA Degree in Political Science and Public Administration at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), I founded the Model UN Team at FES Acatlán, UNAM, I was Deputy Secretary General at the UNAM Model UN in 2011, and I had the opportunity to be a teaching assistant in comparative politics, and a research assistant on legislative affairs.

From 2012 to 2013, I was head of the department of peace and civic culture in the Government of Morelos. I advised on crime prevention policy and civil culture in schools and worked on the first draft of the new Youth Law in the State.

From 2013 to 2015, I studied for my Master’s in Political Science at El Colegio de Mexico (Colmex). As a student, I was one of the founder representatives of the Student Society at Colmex. My first three research papers published later were school projects while I was studying.

From 2015 to 2018, I worked as an analyst and a Junior Researcher at the Belisario Dominguez Institute at the Mexican Senate. During those years, I published 20 reports on several issues, such as electoral reform, freedom of speech, public security, climate change and disaster management, among other topics. I chaired a national conference on violence and peace with the National Commission for Human Rights and Colmex. I also was a Teaching Fellow at UNAM for comparative politics, economic policy, and international relations theory.

In 2018, I was the advisor on legislative affairs for the upcoming budget undersecretary of Mexico’s national government for the 2019 National Budget. In 2019 I was the Director General for Legislative Liasion of the Secretariat of Economy in Mexico. During my term, the new United States, Mexico and Canada Trade Agreement (USMCA) was approved by the Mexican Senate, and the projects for the secondary legislation on the treaty were drafted. Also, new food labelling regulations to tackle obesity were approved by Congress.

From 2019 to 2023, I studied my PhD in Sociology of War at the School of Security Studies in King’s College London. I was funded by the then National Council of Science and Technology and Mexico’s Central Bank. I was affiliated with the Conflict, Security and Development Research Group, and to the Environmental Security Group.

While a PhD student I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant for International Relations Theory, International Political Economy of Production, Contemporary Security Studies, Climate and Capitalism, and Political Economy Approaches. Also, I was elected twice as a National Union of Students delegate. I was president of the Mexican Students in the UK from 2019 to 2020. From 2020 to 2021 I was the postgraduate representative for the LGBTQ+ Society, and from 2021 to 2022 I was the Teaching Assistant Representative at the Kings Doctoral Students Association.

From 2023 to 2024 I was a Departmental Lecturer at the University of Oxford International Development, lecturing on politics, climate change, and methods. I was part of the admissions and teaching committees. While at ODID I was a research fellow at Wolfson College. Also, I was recognised as Fellow of Advance HE UK.

From 2024 to early 2026 I was multilateral affairs officer at the Mexican Embassy in the United Kingdom and advisor to the Mexican Mission to the International Maritime Organisation. While in post, I negotiated the Net Zero Framework, the new instrument to combat climate change by mitigating greenhouse gas emissions by international shipping. I also promoted the IMO to begin its work on diversity, equality, equity and inclusion, as well to coordinate with the BBNJ Agreement.

As of May 2026, I was hired as an Associate Professor in Politics and International Relations at the Faculty of Higher Studies Acatlán of the National Autonomous University of Mexico.
