I am a Mexican environmental professional, researcher, and documentary filmmaker focused on the intersections of climate research, policy, and cultural transformation. I believe addressing the climate crisis requires not just scientific insight but a critical examination of the cultural narratives and social structures that shape our understanding of environmental issues.

​

Over the past five years, I’ve secured over $250,000 USD in grants and fellowships to support my work. Some of these resources allowed my team and me to launch ECOS, an impact studio where we co-produce documentaries like "Green Gold" and "Enraizados". These films tackle critical challenges like the socio-environmental impacts of the avocado industry and indigenous environmental governance in Mexico.

​

My research focuses on uncovering the root causes of environmental injustice, spanning adaptation policy, urban ecology, political ecology, climate mobility, and environmental justice. I’ve published in journals like Ecology and Society and presented at conferences such as the International Studies Association (ISA). My interdisciplinary approach bridges humanities, social science, and policy, challenging the constructs that underlie environmental problems.

​

In climate policy, I’ve worked on UNFCCC multilateral agreements and will serve as a COP29 negotiator for the Mexican government. I’ve also collaborated with organizations like the National Geographic Society, The Nature Conservancy, and most recently, UNEP, where I’ve contributed to key environmental initiatives, reinforcing my commitment to integrating research with practical policy solutions.

​

I graduated summa cum laude from Middlebury College in Environmental Studies and Political Science, receiving the Scott A. Margolin ’99 Environmental Studies Award. In 2023, I completed the Documentary Campus Masterschool, where I honed my skills in using film to engage audiences and drive change.

​

Fluent in Spanish, English, and French, I aim to challenge existing climate narratives and make environmental knowledge both accessible and actionable, whether through research, filmmaking, or public scholarship.
