I was born in a small Venezuelan town called Anaco but from those days I only remember the aroma of dirt and fruits and the sound of dogs. I guess I have always been a nature lover. Currently I am so proud to also consider myself Mexican and I have been living in Cancún for the past 14 years. This is truly one of Mexico's gems! Tourquoise waters and relaxed human beings are part of my current adventure. Former Sofar Cancún organizer and now TEDxCancún Licensee for the first time. ¡I am so happy and grateful to be alive and to have this opportunity to put myself and others in new and exciting situations for the benefit of our community!

Relationships, reading, about the beach, cenotes and other expressions of nature, about affirmations and gratitude, about Sofar and Tiny Desk and now about TEDx!

The world rewards people that create value. Whatever you do in life, try to have the best attitude that you can and you will create value.

I was a volunteer in TEDxCancún in 2018 and I always thought that organizing something like that must have felt amazing. The speakers and their ideas, the atmosphere and the audience were great. In 2023 and 2024, together with some incredible and talented friends, we got a taste of that by organizing intimate concerts under the Sofar brand and we did 6 Sofar Sessions in Cancún. But we wanted to try something new and decided to apply for TEDxCancún. Our application was solid and our interview with the TEDx staff felt like a warm hug, like this is where you now belong. My TED and my TEDx story is only beginning and I am so grateful and excited to have this amazing opportunity! Let's gooooo TEDxCancún!

Swimming, washing dishes and following storylines from the NBA, the NFL and the MLB! LOL!
