About me

I was born in Bogotá, Colombia, the most megadiverse country per square kilometer in the world, as well as land of amazing coffee and wonderful people. I am a Law School graduate of Universidad de los Andes. I've worked for Baker & McKenzie Bogotá's office in IP matters, and was a legal intern for WMF in 2013/2014, and for Creative Commons in 2011. I am passionate about intellectual property reform, access to free knowledge, and the Internet. In my free time you would find me out getting to know new places, people, and food, or watching tons of TV shows.

My work

I work for the Wikipedia Zero team, with mobile partnerships in Latin America. I'm also part of the Policy Team for the program, involved in the policy and legal implications around the program.
