I’m a junior Medical Doctor who has been exposed to public health since I was a Medical Student. As part student I held positions as Regional Director for The Americas and Vice-President of the International Federation of Medical Students’ Associations (IFMSA) working to strengthen the capacities of national NGOs advocating around public health priorities.

I have a huge passion for youth representation, which took me to lead and advocate initiatives in different international forums. I’ve collaborated with the Pan American Health Organization as mentor to the Youth for Health group and was intern and consultant at the Regional Office of UNICEF Regional Office for Latin America and The Caribbean, where I developed initiatives around public health emergencies, adolescents’ mental health and non-communicable diseases.
