I am a Honduran lawyer with a Master’s degree in Public Management and Political Action, working at the intersection of democracy and elections, with international relations and diplomacy. My work focuses on how international actors engage with citizens, institutions, and global dynamics in shaping democratic processes.

I am Co-Founder of Centuria, the first political consultancy firm in Honduras, specializing in strategic communication. Previously, I worked with the United Nations in Honduras and at the Embassy of Honduras in Spain, and served as Executive Director of El Milenio, a youth organization focused on civic participation and political engagement, where we created initiatives like EMIL IA, an artificial intelligence tool that compiles all electoral information for citizens, and “Tu Voto, Tu Poder,” a campaign aimed at increasing young voter participation.

I currently hold regional roles with the Americas Youth Advocacy Team, CIVICUS, and the United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY), contributing to efforts that connect youth participation and peacebuilding, with democratic governance across Latin America.
