I was born in Mexico City and raised in Otumba, Estado de Mexico. I attended Bilingual high school in Prepa Tec, Campus Hidalgo. During high school I had an active participation in student groups and as a delegate of ECOSOC, in the Model United Nations called HIDALMUN.

For four years I was working with RREM and Medical Department of ITESM promoting health within TEC Residences through the organization of talks about Public Health topics and the teaching of First Aid courses.
During 2015, Javier Vazquez Coria, ex-president of COPARMEX Hidalgo and CEO of Inbox.mx was my mentor in business area.
Currently, I am studying Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering at ITESM Campus Monterrey; I´m COO and Co-founder of Joinite.com, idea that won the national competition "Reto Naranya". Joinite.com is being accelerated in Startup Studio Monterrey and is part of the Global Accelerator Network.
Fortunately, this year I was elected as one of 15 national delegates to represent Mexico at the Forum for Cooperation, Understanding and Solidarity between Mexico and the United States, US-Mex FoCUS 2016. Through the discussion of the innovation and technology role between Mexico and United States our delegation is focusing it´s efforts on develop a project to provide a better quality of life to rural communities in Chiapas, Mexico. We are working with the nonprofit organization The Pale Blue Dot, ITAM and Stanford University. Finally, we are going to present the project in Stanford University on november.
I seek to promote the quality of life through technology and application of good public health policy, based on the principle that health is a human right.
