Biography

I have worked with social organizations for more than sixteen years.

With a degree in art and licensed in tourism, I was managing a hostel and at the same time I began volunteering in a shantytown where I taught art workshops to children.

After almost five years of volunteering, I began to ponder a new project that would allow her to have a deeper impact in the poorer neighborhoods. My vision was to start an organization that promoted continued education and training in order to create greater equality.

Today, I am dedicated to the relationship with each institution under Voluntario Global and I help create job, and national and international collaboration networks.

I think that the goal is to empower people to be creative looking for new ways to exchange, preserve culture and traditions, live, takes care environment and develop a new fair trade economy for the entire world.

I am sure “Other World is possible.” One with social justice and equally for everyone. We just need to build it together.
