From Mexico, I have built my career at the intersection of technology, citizen participation, and social justice, guided by the conviction that the digital space is a common territory that we must inhabit, care for, and transform collectively. In my role as Communications Lead for Latin America and the Caribbean on the OpenStreetMap Humanitarian Team, and as co-founder of Netas Ciudadanas, I have promoted projects that combine open mapping, civic and social technology, citizen science, and community processes so that more people, especially youth and historically excluded communities, can use technology as a tool for advocacy and mutual care. I am also an active member of the Wikimedia Mexico community, where I have coordinated edit-a-thons and managed mapping and open knowledge workshops, intertwining the different digital territories I inhabit as a professional and activist to raise awareness of local causes and knowledge.

I am excited about the possibility of contributing through the dialogue of knowledge, recognising that technology is not only built from a technical perspective, but also from diverse experiences and community knowledge. I imagine this programme as a rhizomatic space, where ideas intertwine and grow in multiple directions, allowing more young people to drive important conversations about freedom, equity and rights in the digital environment, with a collective voice rooted in our realities. From the digital realm, this means building bridges between social policies with a digital rights perspective and community action that defends access as a common good, promotes critical digital literacy, encourages the use of free technologies, and documents violations of these rights. This intersection not only reduces gaps and strengthens the autonomy of communities, but also ensures that the exercise of other fundamental rights, such as education, participation, culture, and health, remains protected and strengthened in digital environments.
