I have lived at the intersection of peacebuilding, art and communications as a social entrepreneur, facilitator and artist. I am convinced that creative approaches and imagination are a must in changing relationships and systems. At the same time, I believe that inner and systemic change are totally interrelated and therefore, I've approached transformation from the personal level, to the interpersonal and the systemic level.

As a social entrepreneur, I created a new mission for Prolongar Foundation in 2013 and for almost a decade I positioned the organization as one of the leading NGOs in Colombia in art-based strategies for capacity building, peace, reconciliation and trauma healing. I've led more than 20 creative projects including mobile museums, community murals, memory initiatives, and a documentary to advance a culture of peace and raise awareness around structural and cultural violence in Colombia.

‍I have lived in three different continents (America, Asia and Europe) spending two years in Japan where I earned a Master’s Degree in Peace and Conflict Studies from the Tokyo University of Foreign Studies and received a full scholarship from JICA.

From November 2022 to November 2024 I was the Operations Lead of Reimagine Peacebuilding, and now I have the honor to be part of this collective. I am also a singer and songwriter and lead my own musical project.
