Biography

I have always been interested in how government works and its potential for solving issues. As a public policy student at CIDE, a Mexican public social sciences think-tank, I delved into Mexican social policy and its conceptual underpinnings. Simultaneously, as a research assistant, I collaborated in research concerned with penitentiary and drug policy reform. After graduation, I became a lobbyist, gaining front row experience in Mexican politics. Despite working on different policy areas, including energy and fiscal policy, I felt I contributed the most by pushing for cannabis reform in partnership with activists, progressive politicians, and medical patients. Having completed my MPhil at Cambridge and worked as a policy analyst for the 2024 presidential pre-campaign of Marcelo Ebrard, former Mexican Minister of Foreign Affairs, as a PhD student I intend to explore the complex relationship between international law and public policy by studying if international human rights treaties prompted a cascade in social policy reform across Latin America. I am excited in becoming a member of the Gates Cambridge Community, and in the future, I intend to place a better understanding of policy determinants at the heart of government.
