Artist, Brainstormer, Concerned citizen, Global soul, Job-seeker

I am a Canarian citizen who is very interested in a wide array of topics, such as Linguistics and Languages, Art and its applications and psychology, among others.

Two of the topics I am most passionate about are, on one hand, art and, on the other hand, civil rights activism. I firmly believe that, if we are about to improve as a society, there must a process of deconstruction of prejudices and beliefs that harm the most vulnerable among us (such as non-eurocentric ethnic groups and the LGBTQ+ community, among others). As an illustrator myself, I really love to explore the intersection between art and activism. This way, I love to use my artwork as some kind of tool in order to raise awareness about the discrimination and privilege that exist in our society.

I discovered TED as I was studying my degree in Translation and Interpreting. In fact, TED Talks were one of the resources we used the most in interpreting classes. As time went by, I started exploring the platform by myself, and discovered a lot of eye-opening and insightful talks. Since then, I come back every now and then in order to learn more about the topics I love and am concerned about.
