I am passionate about sharing ideas and experiences, telling stories through multiple resources, and listening to what others have to teach me. I am a musician and a high school teacher, where I strive to instill curiosity about the world in my students. I enjoy thinking, designing, and creating social actions that have an impact on the community where I live. I firmly believe that nothing can be achieved without building connections and working together with others.

My journey with TED began simply: watching hours of talks on YouTube, fascinated by diverse topics and languages. The unifying thread was the power of ideas, and I was captivated. Later, when I moved to Rosario for university, I got involved with TEDxRosario, attending four editions. It was there that I truly experienced the magic of TEDx events, sparking a desire to join an organizing team. When I returned to Rafaela, TEDx was taking off in my hometown. Though I missed the first few events, I jumped into the fourth edition as part of the oratory team, guiding speakers through their talks. That role allowed me to engage deeply with the ideas and the people behind them, and it strengthened my connection to TEDx's mission. Now, as the general coordinator for the sixth edition of TEDxRafaela, I can see how TED has been a constant companion at different stages of my life. From consuming ideas to organizing them and sharing them with my community, TED has been the thread that ties together my passions for learning, connection, and growth.
