I work as a project manager and IT consultant and see myself as a navigator and explorer in the world of collaboration, the design of new working environments and the use of digital tools. I am a forest dweller, a nature, music and sports lover with an open and curious mindset. Since I worked with "system dynamics" in my student years, I have a systemic and holistic view of the world. I think the doughnut can be a helpful model to tackle some of the significant challenges of the 21st-century.

| Sustainability Transitions Specialist |  Co-Founder of Mexico City's Doughnut Economic Coalition + Scaling Coordinator in CIMMYT-CGIAR After finishing my MSc in Environmental Sciences, Policy and Management in Lund University with a thesis to downscale the doughnut for Mexico City's water policies, I learned research was not enough to make a change. For this reason, I have co-founded the Tricolor Coalition (Mexico City's Doughnut Economic Coalition) to collaborate with other agents of change to promote sustainability transitions in Mexico City. We are now developing community, informative, and capacity building activities to support Mexico City's agents of change interested in promoting this transition. I am currently also working as a Scaling Coordinator in the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center. In my job, I continue to learn about systems thinking approaches, and about what types of food innovations could be scaled (why? and where?) to create more impact.  Moreover, I also have experience in international and national public administrations, and I have specialized in the water-food-energy sectors and climate change challenges.
