I am a political scientist from the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences at the Central University of Ecuador. I have conducted research on key topics such as violence and gender equality, as well as youth participation in decision-making spaces. Currently, I serve as a Councilwoman for the Metropolitan District of Quito, where I focus my work on gender equality, citizen participation, and collective rights. I am actively involved in the development of public policies that promote the rights and well-being of gender diversities, children, women, and people with disabilities. In addition, I participate and speak at academic and political training spaces, contributing to social and political discussions and learning.
