About

I was born and raised in El Alto, Bolivia. I graduated from Del Valle University in La Paz, Bolivia, with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems Engineering, and in 2014 I received an exchange scholarship to Tokyo, Japan.

In 2016, I was accepted as an intern in Switzerland and moved to Zurich to work for 7 months. There, I learned about the value of open source communities.

After returning to Bolivia, I joined Nucleo GNU/Linux, a free software study group. Along with the community we organised multiple events and talks.

My passion for sustainability was later strengthened when I was selected for the Young Sustainable Impact programme in Norway. I started OPENschool with the team from the programme.

After living in 5 different countries, I am trying to find my place in Copenhagen, Denmark. I enjoy an active life.
