After studying International Relations and experiencing the realities of poverty and inequality across different cultures and geographies, I chose to specialize in fundraising and nonprofit leadership — first in Austria through a scholarship, and later through a postgraduate program at Universidad de San Andrés in Argentina. In the last 3 years, I coordinated and led regional corporate fundraising opportunities for TECHO, building partnerships across Latin America and the United States for a movement that has mobilized 1.6 million volunteers and benefited over 600,000 people in informal settlements. I also coordinated all fundraising operations coming from the US and Europe, impacting the 18 TECHO country offices in LATAM. I've shared experiences as a speaker at the 2023 and 2024 Latin American Fundraising Congress (AEDROS) and at the International Fundraising Congress (IFC) 2024 in the Netherlands, contributing reflections on partnerships, global solidarity, and the power of youth-led change.
